“So why Greenland? What is it about this island, the world’s largest island with only 57,000 people on it? Most people will never step foot or even see Greenland. And yet Greenland is the center of attention.

“Well, because it’s the intersection of climate change, resources, economics and geopolitics. So what does Greenland have? It doesn’t have much people, 57,000. But what it does have buried underneath that ice, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, is a lot of oil, billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. And even more important, it has rare earth elements that are needed for things in telecommunications like your cell phones. Right now, we get much of that from China.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Seth Borenstein, The Associated Press:
“Even more than oil, even more than gas and rare earth elements, Greenland has ice. Lots and lots of ice. A ridiculous amount of ice, one climate scientist told me. How much ice? It has more than 2500 trillion tons of ice. It’s losing more than 200, 300 tons of ice each year as it melts and it’s melting faster every almost every year. And what happens is that’s bad news for the rest of the planet. And even though you don’t realize it, Greenland is determining your future, your future climate and your current weather. It’s a gorgeous place. Having been there, there’s this beauty in the whiteness and the barren, and just the remoteness. It’s also just the focus of our future.”

STORYLINE:
Remote, icy and mostly pristine, Greenland plays an outsized role in the daily weather experienced by billions of people and in the climate changes taking shape all over the planet.
Greenland is where climate change, scarce resources, tense geopolitics and new trade patterns all intersect, said Ohio University security and environment professor Geoff Dabelko.
