First of all, buy, purchase, a contract between willing parties.
1. The US has had a continuous military presence in Greenland since 1941.
2. Denmark was, is, and will continue to be incapable of protecting their interests in Greenland.
3. If, as the hand wringing bed wetters insist, that the Arctic ice is going to all melt then the Arctic Ocean is going to become a major oceanic trans-shipment body of water. Those waters will need to be patrolled to protect from parties that would want to control those sea lanes for their own purposes. Two not so friendly powers, Russia and China, have designs on the Arctic and Canada, with their 50 canoe Navy, just isn't up to the task.
Purchasing Greenland from Denmark makes perfect sense if you think long term. Remember, a lot of people made fun of Jefferson with his "Louisiana Purchase" and "Seward's Folly", the Alaskan purchase.
