Greenland isn’t going to reverse what our carbon burning world has set in motion. Nor should it be blamed for the impact its nakedness will bring to the collective future.
Climate change has Greenland in its grip like no other nation – and the relationship between the planet as a whole, and a single country, is unique in the annals of civilization’s history.
The climate summit – which got up off its knees, then to its feet and ended with hands raised and loud cheering – will go down in history as a turning point in the protracted, half-baked global efforts of the last two decades.
The view of America from Paris, from Europe and most of the world reveals a once-great nation that has become a floundering token of retrograde thinking led by anti-futurism and anti-humanism.

Corporations are not "too big to fail" and, when they commit crimes, they are not "too big to jail." As David Whyte writes in his new book, "Ecocide: Kill the Corporation Before It Kills Us," the moment is now to rein in out-of-control corporate power.
The world has lost an incredible thinker and doer. I have lost an amazing friend. A void exists where before it was filled with David's optimism, humour and joy.
Kevin fought to bring truth every day. We must not lose this struggle.
