We need Greenland. But not in the way Trump thinks

Salon  

Donald Trump has a thing for Greenland. Keeping Greenland’s ice frozen preserves at least a trillion dollars of wealth generation, according to a 2020 study, and would help prevent trillions of dollars in estimated losses by 2100. Like an ice cube on a sultry summer day, Greenland’s ice sheet is melting, and that water, flowing into the ocean, is steadily raising sea level globally. Greenland’s ice wouldn’t be melting if several decades of moral appeals to address climate change had effectively engaged people and politicians. Our planet’s temperature, not politicians’ ambitions, will determine whether the ice remains on Greenland or melts and pours into the global ocean.
