Isn't it a matter of resource mining? Greenland is getting warmer and thus the access to its resources becomes gradually easier.
- jakeinspace 2y agoI think control of shipping channels (northwest passage especially), natural deep water ports, and military installations are the main potential values. The oil and gas will likely never have much value, since by the time they’re thawed, the price of both will presumably have collapsed. The rare earth elements and uranium might be nice but bringing in the equipment and infrastructure to do serious mining will takr decades.
