Climate change sceptics have acquired a new explanation for why glaciers are retreating: it's not global warming, it's theft.

Police in Chile have arrested a man on suspicion of stealing five tonnes of ice from the Jorge Montt glacier in the Patagonia region to sell as designer ice cubes in bars and restaurants.

Local media reported that last Friday police intercepted a refrigerated truck with an estimated £3,900 worth of illicit ice allegedly bound for whiskies, rums and cocktails in the capital Santiago.

illicit ice

Made me lol. So does this mean ice formed on the ground is not fair game? Do I have to avoid it?

Its actually a genius idea. LOL that he did not try to buy the ice from them and tried to steal it. A real thief would have just said anything was Glacier ice and sold it like that.
