Why wait for climate change when you can just pick off chunks and bring them to a desert -__-

If you look at their current sourcing it's fine. They're not cutting apart glaciers, they're gathering it from parts that have calved and will just melt apart regardless.

Greenland has a right to sell their natural resources as much as anyone else, and the sad thing is this admittedly ludicrous enterprise is more profitable for less environmental damage than most things.

The problem is all the carbon that is emitted to transport the ice from Greenland halfway around the world for no other reason than bullshit marketing.

They'll only do it once though and serve regular ice after that. Or do you think the ice gourmets will notice?
