Let me see, a guy chips out a big piece of ice...(which, even at "five tonnes" would be (much less) related to the glacier, as a the period at the end of this sentence is to this page.) AND THIS is a major crime???

A guy collects ground water and its “stealing”
Libs are not aware that Ice is frozen water.

Well if everyone took ice from the glaciers then Patagonia wouldn’t be nearly as...
Chile.

Its about ethics: if everyone took a 5 tonne chunk of glacier, then how soon would the glacier disappear? ( was that a comma splice? )....

Yes, but if everybody took the period off the end of a sentence...we’d have one hell of a long run-on sentence.

Everybody is not going to chip at the glacier.
Sounds as silly as, “If everyone drank fresh water, what will happen to all the water?” It’s WATER, ON PUBLIC LAND.
If people are stupid enough to pay extra for glacier ice...why can’t someone take their money from them?
To my mind, this is asinine environmental-religion. But I repeat myself.

It was just a few decades ago that people were talking about breaking off huge chunks of glacier ice and transporting them south to meet the water needs of large cities.
Somehow that would be OK, but this is not?
Of course there is the case where private companies have come into foreign countries, monopolized the water supply, and then started charging the peasants for water they used to get for free. In at least one case, they even made it a crime to collect rain water.
They couldn't tolerate any competition, even from Mother Nature!

Hell no, we are just dangling participles.....

How is your reply a lesson in English 101? Or even Business English 101? You have failed. Get out of here and don’t come back! /s
We are studying Business Ethics and English; screw you! /s
