I used to work at Overstock as an engineer. It was a wild ride. This guy is explaining this situation better than any combination of people in that company could ever muster up. Also, AMA, there are plenty of stories.

Agreed. Greenland is 836,300 mi², while Denmark is 16,577 mi². Imagine the effects of climate change in 200+ years - Greenland could be VERY valuable and important then.
