And they aren't even really bothering to hide it anymore.

A lot of Trump's seemingly odd obsessions like taking over Greenland and Canada are less odd (but still very unsettling) when you accept that the global power elite have already accepted that run-away climate change is inevitable and the only open questions are who is going to profit from it and how.

This is it exactly. Russia and Canada are in the best position to possibly "benefit" from global warming.

The US has Alaska, but if it wants more newly arable land in the future, the only options seem to be Greenland and Canada, the two places which Trump just so happens to be obsessed with annexing.
