Together, these stories have unleashed a tidal wave of climate dread, and that new startup-Arctic Ice, co-founded by Greenlander Malik V. Rasmussen-has borne the brunt of the cyber fallout
A couple points of fact-checking: The company claims it's not actually taking glacier ice at all, instead harvesting free-floating icebergs that have already fallen into the Nuup Kangerlua fjord. Rasmussen assured TikTokers late last year that his team has been granted a rare permit from the government to take 14,000 tons of ice per year, roughly '0.00000005 percent' of the more than 250 gigatons of Greenlandic ice that fall into the ocean annually. He also told The Guardian that his goal is to support economic independence from Denmark, whose annual grant represents over half of Greenland's budget. Representatives from Arctic Ice didn't respond to Punch's requests for comment.
