00:00The year 2050, the name Greenland is finally no longer a shorthand.
00:05But this reality is a nightmare for some on Earth.
00:08As the permafrost melts completely, the Arctic is exposed.
00:13Greenland becomes the busiest global trade route,
00:16cutting the distance between Asia and Europe by 40%.
00:20But it's not just a shipping route.
00:23Beneath this disappearing ice lies a quarter of the world's rare earth mineral reserves.
00:30Uranium, gold, and the materials for future batteries.
00:33The world has embarked on a 21st century gold rush.
00:37The capital, Nuuk, has exploded into the Dubai of the Arctic.
00:42With the money from the mines, Greenland has finally bought its full independence from Denmark,
00:48becoming a new superpower in the Arctic region.
00:52However, this independence comes at a price.
00:55Without Denmark's military protection,
00:58Greenland is now locked in a new Cold War between America, Russia, and China,
01:03all vying for influence.
01:06Greenland may be the richest country in the future.
01:08But remember, every inch of ice that melts there
01:12is an air meter that sinks our cities.
01:16Comment your opinion.
01:17And now there was aation.
