Henrik Stendal, head of the geology department at the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum in Nuuk, Greenland, says he is hopeful there will an increasing amount of activity in his country. This is not least because rising temperatures mean there is more land to explore now. He spells out something that many in government think privately but are reluctant to say openly: "You could say global warming is good for Greenland."

If that's the case, shouldn't Greenland pay Americans for each ton of CO2 we emit?
