I'm writing this on a plane to Greenland -- well, actually, on a plane to Denmark, because there's no way to get to Greenland by a civilian airline without going through Copenhagen first -- and it has occurred to me (not for the first time) to wonder where everybody else is.
My wife and I are on our way to shoot a documentary film about a handful of scientists who have an idea to slow the speed at which glaciers are sliding into the sea. If it works, it would drastically lower the predicted level of sea level rise.
As the warming proceeds and the world's remaining ice melts, sea level rise is going to become a grave problem for every country with a coastline, so you'd think there would be legions of people working it. There are not.
