  • Billionaires are funding a massive treasure hunt in Greenland as ice vanishes

    From cnn.com

    Some of the world's richest men are funding a massive treasure hunt, complete with helicopters and transmitters, on the west coast of Greenland. The climate crisis is melting Greenland down at an unprecedented rate, which -- in a twist of irony -- is creating an opportunity for investors and mining companies who are searching for a trove of critical minerals capable of powering the green energy transition. A band of billionaires, including Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates, among others, is betting that below the surface of the hills and valleys on Greenland's Disko Island and Nuussuaq Peninsula there are ...

Do you see some damn white lines in the sky lately? They were there before and as the summer started they were gone for a while, now I see it again.

"A moderate melt surge swept across northern Greenland and then encompassed much of the ice sheet perimeter in mid-July. Overall, the 2022 summer season in Greenland continues at a modest pace relative to the past few years (notably 2021 and 2019) as a result of neutral North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index conditions promoting frequent northern winds over Greenland but exceptional melt and southerly winds over Svalbard, the Norwegian-owned islands northeast of Greenland."

This has initially not much to do with claiming earth resources for themselves. The case is more about making investments in developing new areas, businesses and creating new jobs. This is how things work. Someone with money has to invest in exploring developing new possibilities. When that's said, the investors naturally must have a share of the final profit.
Don't be so negative. Look rather positive at it. If billionaires don't do that, then who will? The world needs people who are willing to invest and put their money at risk. Yes they get richer, but again they give business and jobs for hundred thousands of people.
I think the headline is misleading.
Start with 1000$. Increase by 3% every day. After one year 2 213 314$
Exactly the Billionaires, having made more money than they need are only investing for the good of Humanity. The poor ,the Homeless, the Fatherless. Just like they are doing Now. Without the likelihood of Personal or disguised Company gain. AAHHH Human Nature ain't it grand. Especially if you are a billionaire. Especially since they made their money by doing the right thing.
Spouting politics of envy will never make people rich but it sure as hell will make them bitter all the way to the end. By the way....nobody cares about your problems...they usually have enough of their own to deal with.
