Global Warming and Greenland
Go good, go green !
The climate change is real and it is threatening the life on Earth as we know it.
Greenland experiences the effects of intensive burning of fossil fuels, farming and deforestation, activities which lead to the well-known Greenhouse effect, trapping the sun's heat and stopping it from leaking back into space s , and an overall increase in the climate change process.
Greenland’s ice sheet covers 81% of the island and has an important role to play as it has been deflecting the sun’s energy for more than 100,000 years.
Not only that, but also it has an average thickness of 2.3 kilometers which makes it a huge block of ice ( 2,480 kilometers long and up to 750 kilometers wide ) that contains 8% of Earth’s water.
Let us not forget about Greenland’s iconic glaciers, the source from where the 100,000 year old iceberg responsible for Titanic’s sinking might have originated. Their movement is a good source of information for observing the process of global warming.
And if you were wondering about how the wildlife is threatened, a good example can be the polar bear’s life, which has dramatically changed for the worst as they have fewer opportunities to find food and they are exposed to dying from starvation.
Hunting is a long tradition deeply rooted in the Greenlandic culture. This can soon turn to a beautiful memory because from travelling for weeks to go on a hunt, the inuits can only afford now one day by the sea ice because of its instability.
