"Rapid Greening of Greenland: Implications for Global Climate"

A study shows that Greenland has lost a significant amount of ice in the past three decades, leading to a doubling of vegetation and quadrupling of wetlands. This ice loss is driven by warmer air temperatures, which in turn causes permafrost melt, releasing carbon dioxide and methane. The resulting feedback loop leads to further ice loss and "greening" of Greenland, with serious consequences for climate change, sea level rise, and indigenous communities relying on natural ecosystems for survival.
