These kinds of perspectives always seem to come from agenda driven sites like wattsupwiththat.com.
Got anything better? I'll even take Fox News.
Watts Up With That? based their post on DMI findings, but you can follow THE LOCAL instead since this is from Denmark:
Danish climate body wrongly reported Greenland heat record
Excerpt:
By combining measurements with observations from other weather stations, the DMI has now estimated that the temperature was closer to -2C.
"You could say that this is good news from a climate perspective," Herdis Damberg, one of the Institute's meteorologists told Danish state broadcaster DR. "There are probably a lot of people wiping their foreheads saying that it's pretty good that it wasn't four degrees."
The institute believes that snow had caused poor ventilation around the thermometers at the site, wrongly boosting the temperature.

Meanwhile melting at Summit is irrelevant as the highs are below freezing 99.99% of the year.
POLAR PORTAL (from DMI)
Summit is near the center of Greenland, see the large new growth area of snow and ice near Summit?
Most melting is around the outer edges, which is normal as it is near the coast and above freezing part of the time.
