The reports of Greenland having the hottest temperatures ever last Friday are now being walked back. There was equipment malfunctions by the Danish who monitor Arctic temperatures. They probably should have suspected the equipment was off since the summer in the Arctic is quite normal this year. The Friday claim got a lot of attention but the "never mind" barely a whisper - typical.

Says the MENSA with a science degree from Brietbart University. In fact the ice melt in Greenland is accelerating. 90% of poor,dumb Greenlanders believe global warming is having a dramatic effect on them. Of course the current administration doesn't "get" the environment...and never will. Taking protection off the Bristol Bay red salmon is a prime example. Putting a 1.5 billion $$ a year resource in jeopardy for a gold mine is a prime example. ps...hows the orange Shyster doing for your 401 K? You guys hook, line and sinkered this guy...you own him.

It’s one of the bigger bummers around that the people who don’t believe in climate change won’t be around to see it

Greenland ice pack has been growing since 2016 if you believe peer reviewed research compiled by NASA scientists and published in the most prestigious academic journal on the planet. www.nature.com/articles/s41561-019-0329-3

Make Greenland, Green again! Trump now wants to buy Greenland from Denmark. Rename it Trumpland.
The first sentence is actually true.

this of course is very amusing and very much in character for Donald, which makes it all the more hilarious

Trump now wants to buy Greenland from Denmark. The United States wants to buy Greenland from Denmark. We've been trying to do so since at least the mid-1800's. It may go back further than that but Seward's effort under President Andrew Johnson is the earliest I know of. The most serious push to make it happen was by President Eisenhower in the 1940's. The Danes said 'no' but we did get a military base out of the negotiations which is why there is a US Military presence on Greenland.

There's a much better chance it was FDR or Truman.

Believe it or not Trump just canceled an official state visit to Denmark because they wouldn't consider selling Greenland to him.

There is nothing Trump does that people won't find a way to defend, it's insane.
