"Greenland's Melting Ice Sheet Gives Way to Thriving Vegetation, Alarming Climate Experts"

TL;DR Summary
Due to global warming, Greenland's ice sheet is melting rapidly, leading to the resurgence of vegetation in areas that were once covered in ice and snow. The melting ice has resulted in the loss of approximately 11,000 square miles of ice sheet and glaciers over the past three decades, contributing to global sea level rise. If all the ice on Greenland were to melt, global seas would rise by about 23 feet, impacting climate and weather patterns worldwide. The study suggests that Greenland will continue to become greener as ice diminishes further, promoting vegetation expansion.
