The only way this would make sense was if this imaginary hospital ship were full of Americans who can't afford health care seeking treatment in Greenland.

In a new op-ed for the #IslandPress Short-form Program, author @kieranmulvaney.bsky.social writes that unfounded rhetoric and threats surrounding Greenland have undermined Arctic stability and risk U.S. security:

"Notwithstanding breathless assertions to the contrary, conflict in the Arctic is entirely avoidable and unnecessary. The greater threat to the region is a self-fulfilling assumption that conflict is inevitable." By me for @theprogressivemag.bsky.social

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

Confrontation in the Arctic is not inevitable, argues ARCTIC PASSAGES author Kieran Mulvaney in a new essay for The Economist. www.economist.com/by...

My first-ever piece in The Economist, complete with watercolor author portrait, argues against assuming that conflict is inevitable in an ice-free Arctic.

This is unquestionably the single greatest thing in the history of humanity: a 1971 anti-drug commercial that MUST be watched stoned (but probably not on shrooms) and is guaranteed to make you want to do more drugs - or, if you've never done any, to start immediately. m.youtube.com/watch?v=f1fc...

Many thanks to @thewalrus.ca for featuring this excerpt from "Arctic Passages."

While new players in the Arctic may help economic growth, the risk of oil spills and pollution rises. @kieranmulvaney.bsky.social says one thing is certain: with no steps to address climate change, the Arctic is on the precipice of major transformation. thewalrus.ca/china-stakes-cla...

Honored and happy to have won Best Column in this year's writing awards from the Boxing Writers' Association of America. This a piece that is very important to me, and I'm proud of it.
