The Great Race By Elisabeth Rosenthal of The NY Times
The main idea of this article is that Greenland is growing more and more popular but only because they finally have something to offer. Rare minerals such as minerals, gems, rare earth metals etc. essential in the crafting of Phones, wind turbines, and electric cars.
Details or evidence I have from the article is how Rosenthal is telling how Greenland has never been as important to us as they were back when to us now and that's only because they finally have something everyone wants since their ice is melting and more rare minerals and rare earth metals are being uncovered. Another peice of details or evidence I have is when the article describes how many countries are actually hunting down the rare minerals and trying to beat others to doing so.
In my opinion I'm kind of disappointed. I'm disappointed because all this rushing of the minerals in Greenland is probably going to lead to Greenland breaking apart from Denmark because they don't want them talking all of their oil, minerals, and rare earth metals and it's a shame that that's the only way they can keep Denmark out of their supplies. However it is not only Denmark Greenland has to watch out for because there are many other countries, capitols etc. that also want their rich oil, minerals, and rare earth metals for their only many advantages such as for more tools, weapons (probably), electronics etc.
I have no connection I can make to this article. However I do have a question and that question is why can't people keep calm and atleast try to work out an agreement?
