Now add the wildfires and it seems like it&amp;#x27;s escalating dangerously out of control.&lt;p&gt;While a tipping point tips, government action is still conspicuously absent, and countries (well Russia and Canada mainly) are trying to nail their continental shelf claims in the Arctic for oil exploration.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Europe&apos;s record heat wave moves toward Greenland</title><url>https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/un-greeland-europe-ice-heat-record-1.5225980</url></story>
