It looks like something badly CGI'd into a disaster movie, but it's real: an 11 million ton iceberg, slowly moving toward a village, threatening to destroy everything in its path.
Just look at this thing.
A massive section of the iceberg falls off at around 30 seconds in, which gives you a sense of the scale here. If the iceberg becomes destabilised, and a larger chunk is broken off, it could create a tsunami, which could potentially destroy the town of Innaarsuit. This sped up GIF does a good job of illustrating the iceberg's movement.

You'll win the War on Ice before you'll win the War on Stupidity. That's exactly right. But .. concerning this war on Stupidity. Did you manage to kill or convince any of the enemies?

I suggest we combine this new war on Ice with the ongoing war on Stupidity. It's easy, offer this iceberg as target practice for NRA members. A quick look suggests that Greenland won't have to change their gun laws to any great extent,

That low population country already has plenty of guns--

The War on Stupidity was over a long time ago. Stupidity won.

Yes, but did any of the enemy combatants either get convinced to cease being stupid or got killed? It even looks like they took over government in the US. Didn't NOFX have a song about that? The Idiots are taking over or something. Yes, The War on Errorism was the album called.
