“We have a strong indication that the uppermost 2,480 meters contain a climate record that goes back to 1.2 million years in a high-resolution record where up to 13,000 years are compressed into one meter of ice,” Julien Westhoff from Copenhagen University said in a press statement.

2024 set a record as the warmest in history, with the average global temperatures 1.6°C above pre-industrial levels. Multiple global records were broken, contributing to extreme events, like floods, heatwaves & wildfires. The impact of human-caused climate change accelerates.

Earth with the planet’s global average temperature easily breached the previous year’s record heat. It surpassed even the long-term warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) that t

Earth experienced its hottest year on record, surpassing the critical climate threshold, leading to severe consequences for the planet.

Global temperatures in 2024 soared to yet another record level, but this time it was such a big jump that Earth temporarily passed a major symbolic climate threshold.

A 2023 survey showed that 25 of 34 minerals deemed "critical raw materials" by the European Commission were found in Greenland.

Scientists have successfully extracted what is likely the world's oldest ice, dating back 1.2 million years, from deep within Antarctica.

His allies in the U.S. House of Representatives are trying to build support for a bill to authorize talks for the purchase of the island, while Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said the country was ready to start a dialogue on its own terms.

Three of Greenland’s biggest deposits are located in the southern Gardar province. Companies seeking to develop rare earth mines are Critical Metals Corp, which bought the Tanbreez deposit, Energy Transition Minerals, whose Kuannersuit project is stalled amid legal disputes, and Neo Performance Materials.

The harsh climate, hazardous shipping, limited infrastructure and tiny local workforce have for years left a promised gold rush frozen in its tracks.

A wealth of resources essential to the green transition has made Greenland a hot commodity but what do the people who actually live there really want? View on euronews

Trump’s interest in taking over Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, could provide access to rich mineral resources for the US.
