Following Donald Trump's renewed interest in Greenland, the strategic and resource-driven ambitions overlook potentially devastating climate change impacts. Congressional discussions failed to address the environmental hazards tied to the Arctic's rapidly warming climate, which poses significant risks for both extraction efforts and local populations. Research indicates that Greenland's harsh climate has historically thwarted colonization attempts and further complicates contemporary military and resource exploitation endeavors. The ice sheet covers most of the island, making resource access treacherous, thereby increasing both economic and personal risks for current and future occupants.
During a recent congressional hearing, no one mentioned the hazards... that will inevitably encounter... the Arctic's climate is changing more rapidly than anywhere on Earth.
Greenland's harsh climate and vast wilderness stymied past colonial endeavors... disoriented by thick fog and running out of fuel, crashed onto the ice sheet.
