Greenland to Denmark: Clean up toxic waste buried in melting ice sheet - senona - 10-18-2016 Of course, this impending disaster is courtesy of the grand old U.S. of A. back during World War II and the Cold War.
Back then, Denmark had full control over the territory and gave U.S. permission to set up 30 military installations on Greenland.
And where did they bury the nuclear waste?You guessed it, they entombed it inside the ice. Unfortunately, they did not take into consideration of the motto "Things Change".......which thru history, planet Earth has shown multiple climatic changes over the course of it's 4.5 billion years. Yet that old adage "Out of Site, Out of Mind" always seems popular with our Military. And now, Greenland is demanding someone to clean up the mess, in case the ice were to melt. Quote:A vast pit of toxic waste buried in the Greenland ice sheet is threatening indigenous peoples' rights to a clean and safe environment, Greenlandic officials claim. Quote:Officials cited a recent study that found global warming could eventually unearth millions of liters of sewage, chemicals and nuclear waste stored deep below the Greenland Ice Sheet at Camp Century. And now that global warming is at the forefront of everything now, many are concerned of the toxic waste possibly getting out in about 75 years or so. If the projection of warming temperatures are accurate.
Quote:More monitoring needed: Quote:"The people of Greenland have the right to conservation and protection of the environment of our lands, territories and resources," the foreign affairs minister wrote in Berlingske. The Pentagon says it has not evaluated the study showing the danger of global warming unearthing Camp Century's waste, but that it plans to work with Denmark and Greenland to address the issue if needed. Now with all the fear mongering that has been going on about GW, and the Pentagon has not "evaluated the study showing the danger of global warming unearthing the waste"..... really???? Quote:Liam and Jeff Colgan told Mashable that while they respect Greenland's political decisions and push for urgent action, they agreed the pollution doesn't pose an immediate environmental risk to Greenland's residents. Hmmm, now this is a slight twist on the matter of leaking toxic waste... Quote:But he acknowledged that the threat of Camp Century's leaking pollution shows how climate change could eventually undermine diplomatic agreements around the world, including Denmark's 1951 military treaty with the U.S. Source Leave it to our government to mess up the environment with toxic waste. And this isn't the first case either of toxic waste leaking and being a danger to the environment. The U.S. needs to join in and do some monitoring, as well as figure out what to do in case of having to remove it in the future. Should not all be on Denmark.
