President Trump considers buying Greenland. Sure, why not?

The Telegraph: Trump has discussed buying Greenland from Denmark.

Donald Trump has discussed trying to buy Greenland for the US, according to US reports.

The US president's proposal, which was first reported in the Wall Street Journal, has come with “varying degrees of seriousness”, though he has apparently gone as far as seeking the view of the White House counsel.

Mr Trump discussed the idea at a dinner last year at which he said he had heard Denmark found the financial support to the territory burdensome, the Journal reported.

Suggesting the US purchase the island, he reportedly asked the other guests: “What do you guys think about that?”

Buy it! We'll need the extra ice during the next six-plus years. Plus, we can look forward to Triggered Liberals screeching that, "Trump is Empire Building!"

Melting Greenland glacier is growning again.

TVNZ: Once melting glacier is now growing.

A major Greenland glacier that was one of the fastest shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is growing again, a new NASA study finds.

The Jakobshavn glacier around 2012 was retreating about 3 kilometres and thinning nearly 40 metres annually.

But it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, according to a study in  Nature Geoscience. Study authors and outside scientists think this is temporary.

Temporary. As in it might freeze and grow for a while, and then some time later melt, and then re-freeze again? As in, climate changes? As in, the temperature and weather tomorrow will not be exactly the same as today or as yesterday? Weather fluctuates? No, it can't be. 

The glacier is not unlike the ice cubes in my rums and cokes. The cubes melt...for a while...and then get replenished. Science is amazing. Go figure.
