Greenland may be the world's least-populated country, but its vast and dwindling ice sheet can predict the global effects of climate, according to New York Times magazine contributing science writer Jon Gertner. In his new book, "The Ice at the End of the World: An Epic Journey into Greenland's Buried Past and Our Perilous Future," Gertner takes readers across the massive island to understand the forces driving the ice melt, which is set to impact hundreds of millions of people living in coastal areas. Gertner joins Forum to discuss Greenland, the role technology plays in the fight against climate change, and why the fight isn't a lost cause.
