AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoPollution in the Ice: Ten ice cores from Greenland, Canada and Russia trace arsenic and other toxic metals in Arctic ice to a Montana copper mine. Researchers found arsenic levels rose as much as 15-fold during the mine’s peak years, exposing more than 50 million Americans to pollution. Deep-Sea Mining: Greenland’s parliament has called on the government to draft legislation suspending new seabed mineral exploration and extraction licences through December 2029, citing limited knowledge of environmental risks and potentially lasting damage. Greenland’s Climate Past: Sediment from beneath Camp Century shows the site was ice-free about 416,000 years ago, when summer temperatures were roughly 4.7°C warmer than today. The findings offer clues to how Greenland’s ice sheet may respond to prolonged warming.
