Another important reality is that Greenland holds major potential for future peat accumulation and carbon sequestration. Where will the bogs of tomorrow be? Not Canada. Not Siberia. But definitely Greenland.
As everyone talks about Greenland, don't forget its actual global significance--a two mile thick sheet of ice that if melted would raise the sea level 23 feet (and long before that choke off the currents of the Atlantic)

In further PhD-procrastination news, I've written a letter to the editor @lrb.co.uk. Given its circulation, this might be the most-read thing I ever write. It's about an Austrian dessert and contains the word "Punschkrapferlkoalition"; who doesn't love compound nouns?

On May 2, 2025 the U.S. Secretary of Commerce was quoted that; “the new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids”.
I’m just wondering, where exactly that went. A reason for charging extra taxes (tariffs) was because there was supposed to be some kind of job boom.
