I have read and reread the article in Sierra mag , March-April issue on Greenland. It is written by Edward Henderson who described the "warming that elsewhere is a slow tick of the clock is a pounding heartbeat in Greenland, speeding up day by day".
Another quote," the nearby Sertneq Glacier is moving at a rate of almost four feet an hour, calving enough ice each summer day to supply New York City with freshwater for two years."
"Everywhere I look in this blue and white glare are broken bergs, floes, grinders and growlers. The Artic explorers had endless names for ice. What else was there to do over winter, when it was too dark to remember the faces of home? But this isn't new ice I'm looking at; it's centuries old, snapped from the glacier face".
Was interesting last night at the Awards to know that Al Gore was recognized. Maybe some DC folks will get the message that the good earth needs help. I like what you are doing, Jimmy.
