(4,292 posts)The melting of the ice makes it much easier to mine uranium and other valuable items, including and especially crude oil. Russia is very much aware of this and has expanded their mining in the previously inaccessible parts of their own sub-polar regions.

(8,844 posts)Actually, he wants to build golf courses and corner the market on black balls, not realizing Obama has that monopoly and Trump can't do an executive order to change that fact !!!!!!!.......LOL
Also, having been such an astute student in school he probably doesn't know what a mercator projection style map is and thinks Greenland, Iceland, etc are as big as they appear on most maps........He is looking at that vast huge piece of land and in reality it is like what he visions when he looks down at his own lap at his teenie tiny appendage. But, in his mind, "it" appears much larger, just like Greenland does to him......LOL His unusually small hands are a blessing in his case......"anything" he touches with them looks so much bigger in comparison.

(957 posts)It is between the Yellowland (Atlantic Avenue, Ventor Avenue, and Marvin Gardens) and Darkblueland (Park Place and Boardwalk), and consists of Pacific Avenue, North Carolina Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue. Things didn't work out so well for him in Darkblueland, but he thinks he can do better in Greenland.
