Although President Donald Trump claims interest in Greenland, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman might've already invested in a 'Freedom City' there.
I don’t think climate change is the primary driver, since they won’t even be alive to see the worst affects of it. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to make everything worse even within 10 years, but it’s not turning Greenland into some habitable, farmable landmass in the span of these technofascists’ lifetimes. God I hate this.
People should read The Ministry for the Future to learn how they dealt with climate criminals as more and more people suffered and died due to climate change in the mid-future.
I genuinely believe you’re underestimating how important legacy is to these people. These rich fucks donating to have anything built is to see their name in stone on the building facade. I think you’re dead wrong that they’d approach this any differently knowing they won’t live to reap their investment, they’ll do exactly that to immortalize their families.
Interesting point. I can see it going both ways. They are fundamentally broken inside with greed and selfishness, but also obsessed with immortality and legacy like you said, so maybe a little of both?
You jest, but these are egomaniacs that believe they are the harbingers and rulers of a new world. I’m not saying it’s true, however it is totally within the realm of possibility that, at this point, they view their actions as terraforming.
Sounds about right. They know climate change is coming and Greenland will be prime real estate in a few decades.

Time to set up the ignobel price 2 for those fuckers
I see it as making Greenland into prime real estate by causing climate change. /s

Why can’t we just… like… terraform our current environment? Y’know, like, cleaning the air, soil, and water…? Right…?
I know the answer is because it’s not profitable.
