## Caption

The last time Greenland was green the oceans were at least 5 feet (1.5 m) higher. But there weren’t billions of people living near Earth’s coasts 400,000 years ago. Greenland is one of Earth’s most pressing climate tipping points — thresholds in the planet’s fine-tuned, self-regulating system that, once breached, cause dramatic and damaging changes. It’s estimated that global sea level would rise 23 feet (7 m) if Greenland's massive ice sheet completely melted. The goal is to keep that “if” from turning into a “when.”
