re: Let's privatize them.
"Glaciers are popular scenic attractions, so if space tourism will save the space program, maybe glacial tourism can save the climate!"
Ah you beat me to it.
Glaciers are money makers.
As are tar pits.
But fetishes towards tar pits is more understandable, they are interesting.
Now, the ice man is pretty interesting and is certainly a money maker.
But as general rule humans and animals avoid glaciers so the chance of them dying in them is less.
Now, the Russians have all those dead Mammoths in the permafrost, that could be a money maker.
