Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.

Thinking about #Greenland, #Putin, #Russia and Trump's take-over pronouncements.

The map below shows Greenland as the central landmass to the #ArcticOcean and holding the top of the Atlantic Ocean.

Unless the USA was firmly subjegated as a Russian client state, I can't see Putin allowing the USA to get control.

'Last Ice Area' in the Arctic could disappear much sooner than previously thought

The Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA)—a vital habitat for ice-dependent species—might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to occur sometime around mid-century, a new study by McGill University researchers using a high-resolution model has found.
