FACT: Average levels of toxic chemicals (read mercury & PCBs) found in the breast milk of women living in Greenland are so high...

...that they are considered to be just as, if not moreso, toxic than the contents of the average hazardous materials truck heading down your respective local highway.

That is, they are 20-50x higher than the levels in women from Europe & the US (Certainly, none of us are completely toxin-free.) The deal is, that earthly currents drive industrial chemicals, pesticides and other emissions to the Arctic, where they are unable to break down, enter and remain in the polar ecosystem there.

The solution, of course, is to bomb Greenland...

waste of time. we may as well just wait for it.. with the accumulation of enough toxins, & shit, it's undoubted that Greenland - and the rest of the Arctic circle for that matter - will soon self-destruct. come to think of it, this will all take care of Christmas too..

just too easy!
