Greenland isn’t just a place on the map. It’s where climate change is unfolding in real time.

In this episode of The Climate Translation, Dr. Mac moves beyond graphs and models to explore Greenland, the world’s largest island and the single biggest contributor to global sea-level rise. He explains how Greenland’s massive ice sheet works, why it’s melting faster than scientists once expected, and how that loss ripples outward, affecting ocean circulation, weather patterns, and coastal communities around the world.

But this is also a human story. From Inuit communities losing their frozen highways to unexpected new farming opportunities, Greenland reveals the complex, often uncomfortable reality of a warming planet, and why what happens there doesn’t stay there.
