Antarctica Could Save U.S From Rare Earth Minerals Threat

David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss how geopolitical and commercial interests are now turning toward the Antarctic. Once protected under a multinational treaty allowing only scientific research and limited tourism, the region may soon face increased pressure from nations like Russia and China looking to exploit rare earth minerals. As global interest in polar regions grows, the editors suggest we may see an Arctic-style resource race unfold in the south as well.
