AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoArctic Security Deal: Denmark, Greenland and the US are set to sign next week a new “Infinite Life” security agreement after months of secret talks, with Trump saying Washington gets “permanent control” over Greenland’s security and can block adversaries’ bases and sensitive investments; Denmark says the pact will recognize the Kingdom’s sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination, while Rubio calls it a “huge win” for Arctic defense. Military Posture in Greenland: The announcement lands as NATO activity ramps up, including Danish F-35s landing in Greenland for the first time in a major Arctic drill and US jets positioning for air-defense testing. Ice Loss Numbers: New satellite-based research reports Greenland and Antarctica have lost about 12.5 trillion tonnes of ice since 1979, driving roughly 3.2 cm of sea-level rise, with most loss tied to warmer oceans undermining glaciers from below. Sea-Ice Science: A study in Physical Review Letters points to repeated collisions between individual ice floes as a key reason Arctic sea ice moves in ways wind-only models can’t explain. Ozone Update: A WMO bulletin says the Antarctic ozone hole in 2025 was among the smallest in decades, though ozone levels still vary year to year and UV risk remains.
