Greenland’s Untapped Minerals Could Come at an Environmental Cost

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that the U.S. is eyeing Greenland for its valuable minerals, including lithium, niobium, and zirconium, which are essential for modern technology. However, accessing these resources would require extensive infrastructure development, causing environmental damage in an already fragile region. With Greenland’s ice sheets melting at an alarming rate, further disruption could have irreversible consequences for its ecosystem.
