The way they sell it, warming means a lesser availability of fresh

If all of Greenland will melt, the people who are suddenly

Not wrong there. In fact huge areas of Canadian, Alaskan and Siberian
tundra would be really quite nice places to live. Scarcely worse than
Scotland

Except for buildings and equipment sinking into the melting tundra :-D

There is soil underneath all of that, Chris.

     Climate change is rapidly altering the Arctic landscape, in particular the
     permafrost that serves as a foundation for buildings across the region.
     Warming temperatures are thawing out the frozen ground, and in the process
     it is threatening to unsettle structures that were built decades ago.

"... that were built decades ago." How many buildings have been erected
decades ago in the waste known as Greenland? Even in Quebec where the
north is settled to a degree, the amount of buildings in existence is
minimal because the population is itself tiny.

     That's particularly worrisome for the U.S. military, which maintains
     facilities across the Arctic region. And it's one reason Hicks embarked on
     a two-day tour of the nation’s northernmost military bases.
 
     “Building and maintaining infrastructure — like runways — on permafrost
     presents unique challenges for Arctic nations — which are growing with the
     effects of climate change,” Hicks wrote in a Twitter post on Monday.

Once there is no longer permafrost, those challenges will be eradicated too.

And replacement structures will be built/rebuilt.

And that doesn't include methane release.
