    the #USA has a base there for a long time

    #Thule

    now apparently called #Pituffik

    Under agreement with #Denmark

    Because that's how it works: you make agreements with friends

    But apparently the way it works now is an entitled child points his stubby fingers and goes "mine" and it's his, who gives a fuck what #Denmark #Inuit #Kalaallit or #Greenlanders think

    They only live there- why do they matter? (/s)

    And apparently #sovereignty means nothing

    So fucking stupid

    #Greenland

    "The #InuitCircumpolarCouncil includes representatives in #Alaska, #Canada, #Greenland and #Russia. It is one of the six international #Indigenous organizations that have decision-making power at the eight-nation #ArcticCouncil. The Inuit Circumpolar Council has a COP 28 delegation, to include Alaska members.

    "One key issue highlighted in the position paper is the Loss and Damage Fund that was created at last year’s COP 27 held in Egypt. As it is structured now, the fund is focused on helping poorer nations in the #GlobalSouth address the impacts of climate change.

    "That leaves a big gap, said Inuit Circumpolar Chair #SaraOlsvig of Greenland.

    "'This means that as it is structured now, Inuit and other Arctic #IndigenousPeoples will not have access to the fund, although we are among those most impacted by climate change,' Olsvig said by email. Given the rapid rate of Arctic warming and associated effects, 'the inclusion of Inuit in any policy and decision-making is of great importance,' she said."
