"The climate crisis is causing unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety to people in Greenland who are struggling to reconcile the traumatic impact of global heating with their traditional way of life."

I read this piece and couldn't help but think of the "unprecendented stress and anxiety" of the Vikings who sought an agricultural life in Greenland in 900 A.D., only to be essentially 'frozen out' in only a few hundred years.
Maybe someone should inform today's Greenlanders of this dilemma. The cold will return. Although none of us may be here for it's arrival.
"We should remember, that the Earth’s coldest periods have usually followed excessive warmth. Such was the case when our planet moved from the Medieval Warm Period between 900 and 1300 A.D. to the sudden “Little Ice Age,” which peaked in the 17th Century. Since 2,500 B.C., there have been at least 78 major climate changes worldwide, including two major changes in just the past 40 years."

I'm sure the authors/contributors of this last piece (Wheeler, Harris et al.) will be roundly attacked by 'experts' here soon.
