They’re using only chunks that have already separated, transporting it on outgoing cargo ships that are already empty and it becomes one of the few export products for Greenland.
Weird idea, but there are a few redeeming points if you look at the full story.
I’m cool with it in that state. But my concern here is that while it starts out innocent, if demand increases, it’s only a matter of time until they start mining it and chartering more ships to transport it. Especially in an economy like Greenland’s.
This same pattern has been followed a thousand times in the past. Lots of instances of abusing our natural resources start out innocently.
No, this is exported by Greenland.

Okay, that’s a lot less troubling than I expected. Thanks for the clarification.
