Well isn’t that interesting…

“According to the US Geological Survey, the basin off Greenland’s east coast alone contains 31 billion barrels of oil equivalent and west Greenland about half of that. If this was all recoverable, Greenland could become one of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers.”

Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland and what it can tell us about the population in the past and present.
It also really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + how to consider data sovereignty.
Also applicable in #climateScience applications, there's a nice overview here too:

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)

Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself. Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making this, their debut, the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language. This language choice and the lyrics sung in that language were a revolutionary political statement. Released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark, the album would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule.

After repeated threats to take over #Greenland, Trump now demands #Denmark send #eggs to the US amid shortage to drive down prices.

Cute.

Trump begging all over Europe for eggs, after promising not to honor #NATO #Article5.

Now there's a picture.

And guess who stands between them and their goals?

“Russia and US eye joint Arctic energy projects after Saudi talks”

Another war thought:

Canada needs to be ready to defend Greenland. They're our closest neighbour after the US (unless you count that little bit of France in the St Lawrence, lol).

If the US takes Greenland, they will be able to control the Northwest Passage, blocking our shipping lanes out of Hudson's Bay.

They would also be poised to basically jump across to Canada.

Greenland's sovereignty (in whatever form they choose) is Canada's, too.

We have to stand united.

And boot the US out of NATO. They are acting anti-NATO right now. (Hint: the word TREATY)
