If global warming is real, then it’s a great investment, since the ice cap will shrink and provide easy access to more minerals. It might even get “green” again, like it was back in the Medieval warming period when it got named “Greenland”.

"I have heard that Greenland has minerals like crazy under the ice cap"

You can even dig for old buried WWII planes.

Meanwhile you can walk around in some non ice covered remote places and pick up gem quality rubies like corn. Is a TV show about US miners working minerals in Greenland

‘It’s a little scary’ as climate change eats away at massive glaciers

ABOARD A NASA RESEARCH PLANE OVER GREENLAND — The fields of rippling ice 500 feet below the NASA plane give way to the blue-green of water dotted with irregular chunks of bleached-white ice, some the size of battleships, some as tall as 15-story buildings.

Like nearly every other glacier on Greenland, the massive Kangerlussuaq is melting. In fact, the giant frozen island has seen one of its biggest melts on record this year. NASA scientist Josh Willis is now closely studying the phenomenon in hopes of figuring out precisely how global warming is eating away at Greenland’s ice.

The only convenient, friendly supplier of rare earth metals that isn’t Chinese or mined by Chinese companies is GREENLAND.

And these minerals get used in your smart phones and smart devices.
