Inquisitr reports that “Greenland’s rapidly melting ice sheet is on track to expose a Cold War-era United States military base, and the results could be catastrophic. No, that’s not a pitch for a Hollywood science fiction movie, it’s actually happening.”

“Rising temperatures in Greenland caused by global warming are causing the country’s ice sheet to melt far faster than anyone thought possible, and now the remnants from a bygone area are being exposed to the 21st Century.”

“A new research study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters has indicated that the U.S. camp in Greenland, known as Camp Century, may include a small amount of nuclear waste. However, what concerns researchers most is that the Greenland base includes over 53,000 gallons of diesel fuel, 63,000 gallons of waste water and sewage, and miscellaneous Cold War-era building materials, all of which will have a detrimental effect on the environment when they are exposed. Greenland’s Camp Century spans over 136 acres of land beneath the rapidly receding ice. According to William Colgan, an assistant professor at the Department of Earth and Space Science and Engineering at York University in Toronto, the lead author the revealing study in Greenland, Camp Century – like many other Cold War military bases – the U.S. base never received ‘proper decommissioning.’ Unfortunately, in the wake of the Cold War in the latter half of the 20th Century, the military’s of the world, international industries, and even the scientific community, didn’t think about the lasting impacts of what their constructs and activities would do to the planet.”
