    I think the person you’re replying to actuallt just isn’t familiar with the acronym for “internal combuston engine”, since their mentions of America suggests that they think it’s about the American Immigration & Customs Enforcement

      Correct.
      That was new to me.

      The only (widespread) meanings of “ICE” I knew about up to now:

      • Inter City Express, a common train type here in Germany, where the barge grounded
      • The US immigration guys
      • In Circuit Emulator, a tool widely use in my profession
        .

      Very first thought on seeing the heading was the train cars, which after looking at the article didn’t make sense, so it had to be the second one, which would have made sense.

      The article did mention neither, I now suspect a little bit that it was added by OP for dramatic effect (climate connection), without having an actual source.
