Greenland just hit a big new record, and it isn't a good one.
Temperatures soared to 75 degrees Fahrenheit in mid-June, smashing previous temperature logs for as long as people have been keeping them.
Greenland's continent-wide ice sheet is also at its tiniest in recorded history - and the annual summer melt season has only just begun.
Some argue that Greenland's balmy new climate will spur its economy. But these photos show why that trade-off isn't worth the calamitous costs to the planet.
