Mock away. The climate change fanatics are truly bananas.
Lifestyle media icon Martha Stewart was vacationing on a cruise around Greenland and posted a photograph of a cocktail chilled by ice she said had been chipped off an iceberg. “End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland,” she wrote in the post. “We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.” Wait a sec—Marlon would like a word…
Stewart was immediately scorched on social media because using ice from an iceberg is promoting global warming, or cruelty to icebergs, or anti-Semitic (“Iceberg, Goldberg, what’s the difference?”) or something. “Wealthy white people drinking their iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone deaf,” wrote a typical hysteric. “Please don’t use an endangered whale or seal to make any elitist meals like you did with the disappearing iceberg,” wrote another. You know: morons.
Martha is no weenie: She followed up by posting a photograph of an iceberg and wrote, “Pleated iceberg. Perfect for cocktails!”
Perfect response, too.
I would have been tempted to post a photo of me eating a polar bear steak.
Ethics Alarms 
Arctic and Antarctic sailors have used icebergs as a source of fresh water for centuries, probably beginning with the Vikings (there’s not a lot of storage space on a longboat) about a millennium ago. If you want to try iceberg water yourself, there’s a Canadian bottled water brand, “Berg”, which comes from melting icebergs. From their website: “Berg should not be confused with glacier water. The main difference is that glacier water is bottled after it melts to the pools at the base of the glacier, coming in contact with land. Iceberg water is harvested directly from the icebergs, and is not exposed to ground contaminants.” You would have to refreeze it for your cocktail, unless you’re adding a splash to your Canadian whiskey.
A cuisine suggestion for you, however. While I’ve never had polar bear, I have eaten black bear. It was excessively gamy and not very good. I’d suggest checking the menu for reindeer. Now, THAT stuff if tasty.
I’m partial to deep fried rattlesnake and alligator myself. I’ll have to try reindeer!
Martha should have said she was, like Saint Barack, making sure the seas don’t rise. She was consuming arctic ice that would otherwise melt and engulf the Maldives.
