Let’s have a look at the Greenland Ice Sheet today. Ninety-five percent of the ice sheet is spectacularly white, except for one strip along the southwest coast. I fly over that section of Greenland on a regular basis, and the ice there is covered with very dark soot or dirt – which appears to have blown in from somewhere. The dirt absorbs sunlight and causes the melt, not the other way around.

McKibben really needs to stop lying to his readers. He is going to get a bad reputation.
