   Here's what Google AI is saying:   
      
   Greenland has experienced significant temperature fluctuations over   
   time, with recent data showing that the region is currently experiencing   
   its highest temperatures in at least 1,000 years. The warming is   
   especially pronounced in the last few decades, with the Greenland ice   
   sheet losing mass seven times faster now than it was in the 1990s.
