"We can see the consequences in our country every day, and we are ready to contribute to global solutions to counter climate change,"

If only we had bought Greenland while President Trump was in office.

More Climate Cretins in action.

‘Combating climate change’ is as futile as ‘combating plate tectonics’. It’s beyond the understanding of mortal humans, no matter how massive our hubris is.

So how about Nuclear Reac... SHUT UP - solar or wind only and we all need to learn to live in huts.

BTW you’d all have proper power supplies and no fires and if you just voted Democrat.

They had some of the only rare earth mineral deposits NOT in Chinese hands, directly or indirectly. China has large deposits, and a Chinese company is mining another large site in Afghanistan.

And to think, there was a time when Greenland was warm enough to grow crops. That is why the Vikings settled there.

Then the cold weather set in to make it what it is today, as Greenland appears to be returning to the way it was originally when settled.

I think Trump bought it and is building a golf course on it.

Thank goodness they have no oil. Good reason to stop exploration.

#9/ Volcanic action/heat under some glaciers is known to or suspected of melting them faster and causing them to move faster than usual.

Makes sense to me.

in other words, after 50 years of exploration by numerous major players, no appreciable reserves have been found so rather than admit they have no oil, they blame the climate

It does have increasing tourism, maybe in part because Iceland became a victim of overtourism.
A lot of polar cruises go there. They also have hotels and direct flights from Iceland now.

When they figure out this isn’t going to work for them, the oil and gas will still be right there waiting, and more profitable than ever. Everybody has big plans until they get cold.

[ If only we had bought Greenland while President Trump was in office. ]

Why would the elites want us lowly plebs to use up all the oil?

They cut our numbers down to 50-100 million people left in the world and most all those resources will be THEIRS!

This place is a garbage dump. Locals do not partially care about disposing it properly.
If they want to protect the environment, they should start there!
