Is the controversial libation dystopian, dangerous or much ado about nothing? Here’s what experts say.
, says probably not. She tells TODAY.com that such ice is “generally safe to consume and is often added to drinks because of the unique popping sounds made by the many tiny air bubbles in the ice bursting.”at the University at Buffalo Dr. Jason Briner agrees. As an expert on the history of Greenland’s ice sheet, he’s made many trips to study how it and the ground beneath have changed over time.
Briner isn’t worried that chilling a few drinks is going to sink Miami sooner than estimated, either, and although both he and Moon hope people with large platforms will use their voices for good, he declines to criticize Stewart without knowing the details, noting raising a glass might be an important chance to pay respect to a natural marvel.
“Ecotourism can be disturbing because it’s energy-consumptive,” Briner tells TODAY.com. “But on the other hand, if it increases awareness of climate change, maybe these trips are worth it.” Briner’s work aims to improve sea level rise predictions by comparing the effects of naturally warmer times in Earth’s history to the current warming, so while the cocktail may not be a problem, he doesn’t mince words about Earth’s increasingly erratic swings in temperature and precipitation. “Climate change is a catastrophe,” he says, “and something we need to be taking instant action on.”
And when it comes to the effects of climate change on what we put into our mouths, Dr. Michael Hoffman, Cornell Professor Emeritus and co-author of “,” points out that water is just the tip of the iceberg, because nearly everything we eat is already being altered by a shifting climate. The flavors of herbs and vegetables are changing, ingredients like vanilla are scarce and crop yields of grain and coffee are dropping.
