Wasn't talking about Greenland. I was talking about the glaciers that vanished over most of north America, Europe and Asia in as little as a few generations.

I already said that CO2 punishment is stupid.
You get penalized driving a gasoline car or a coal powered electric car. There is no incentive to change.
Replace coal fired power plants with nuclear, that is the only meaningful, long lasting solution. Or you end up like Germany, you tax and tax and spend on green power but eventually you give up and just start building coal fired plants again.
Offer people clean, cheap, price stable nuclear power as a safe haven to fossil fuel price madness.
