Voters in Greenland have backed a party which opposes a rare earth mining project. On Business Weekly, we ask what this means for the security of the global supply of rare minerals and hear why this project was so controversial. From the ice to the ocean, where the race is on for extracting minerals. But environmentalists are concerned that deep sea mining could hurt the world’s oceans, even if they are mined with other environmental goals in mind. You may have heard of the term non-fungible token, but do you know what they are and how they work? We look at whether they are just another crypto craze or an amazing financial opportunity for digital artists. Plus, how to learn the art of complaining. The show is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies. (Image: Voters stand in line at a polling station in Greenland, AFP via Getty Images)
