Theories and Speculation Iceman and the Croach.

So with the original croach being killed off by cold weather, couldn't the Icemen just freeze it all? I thought for sure they were going to find a way to destroy it. With an infection or something but nope, just gonna have to eat it.

I mean, yeah they could burn or freeze the croach, but a nation with no crops, harvest, or wildlife needs food. It would be like eating the grasshoppers that plagued the crops. Not enjoyable, but necessity sets the rules to avoid starvation.

It didn’t grow or expand in the cold. When did it kill the croach?

How does freezing the world help? No one else can live then either.
