   Greenland saw rain at the highest point of its ice sheet for the first time   
   since scientists have been making observations there, the latest signal of how   
   climate change is affecting every part of the planet.   
      
   According to the U.S. National Snow & Ice Data Center, rain fell for several   
   hours on an area 10,551 feet in elevation on Aug. 14, an unprecedented   
   occurrence for a location that rarely sees temperatures above freezing.   
      
   It was also the latest date in the year scientists had ever recorded   
   above-freezing temperatures at the National Science Foundation's Summit   
   Station.   
      
   The rainfall coincided with the ice sheet's most recent "melt event," in which   
   temperatures get high enough that the thick ice begins to melt.   
      
   Rising global temperatures driven by climate change have made extreme weather   
   events more common. The Greenland Ice Sheet is no exception.

   Anthropogenic global warming is real and has us on the brink of environmental   
   catastrophe.
