History also shows that many of the fanciful engineering ideas for Greenland failed because they misjudged the island’s harsh climate and dynamic ice sheet.
Mencairnya es, permafrost, dan runtuhnya dinding fjord hanyalah beberapa dampak perubahan iklim yang dirasakan warga Greenland.
The Trump administration has terminated hundreds of federal grants that support engineering, biology, geology, computer science, STEM education and much more.
During the Cold War, the US poured support into Arctic military outposts and climate research amid fears of a Russian invasion. Climate change is still on the military’s radar as a threat multiplier.
O derretimento do gelo, o degelo do permafrost e o desmoronamento das paredes dos fiordes são apenas alguns dos riscos que a mudança climática representa para quem vive e trabalha na Groenlândia.

The soil was extracted during the Cold War from beneath one of the U.S military’s most unusual bases, then forgotten for decades.
Nearly 60 years after a radiation-leaking reactor was removed from a US Army base on the Greenland ice sheet, the military is exploring portable nuclear reactors again.
This ancient ecosystem showed that the ice sheet had melted to the ground
in northern Greenland within the past million years.
Cuba’s sustainable approach to farming has protected its rivers from the kind of nutrient pollution that impairs many US waterways.
