“As a representative of the Environment & Public Works Committee Ranking Member, Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), I made the trek to the Arctic Circle with the Senate delegation to the land the Vikings once farmed during the Medieval Warm Period. Senators and their staff viewed majestic giant glaciers and icebergs in the Kangia Ice Fjord and in Disko Bay via helicopter, boat, and on foot, during the three-day, 24-hour daylight trip, which began in the Arctic city of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.” – Climate Depot Editor Marc Morano in 2007
In Episode 526 of District of Conservation, Gabriella speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Buchanan – author of the new book, So You Want to Own Greenland?: Lessons from the Vikings to Trump.
Elizabeth discusses her scholarship in polar affairs, what prompted her to write the book, if Greenland will ever be independent, the unearthed nuclear reactor at Camp Century, Greenland’s vast critical mineral deposits, if energy, tourism, and Greenland ice cubes will boost the nation’s standing.
