About this trail:
The ice sheet contains one-tenth of the worlds freshwater reserves.
Scientists predict that global average temperatures will rise by between one and six degrees celsius this century unless urgent action is taken now to cap and reduce carbon emissions.
Even a rise of three degrees could result in cataclysmic species loss, melting polar icecaps raising sea levels by many metres and wholesale famine and disease.
Greenland is only part of the picture, and there is also evidence of local warming and melting on the giant western antartic ice sheet.
scientist said the worldhad to halt greenhouse gas emissions and reverse them within two decades or watch the planet spiralling towards destruction.
The first phase of the global on cutting greenhouse gas emissions runs until 2012, and negotiations have only just started on finding a way of taking it beyond that.
The United States, the worlds biggest polluter, has rejected both the protocol in its current form and any suggestion of expanding or extending it..

The melting of glacier and climate change has been approach by many countries one of them being Greenland. Solutions that have been brought up in the meeting that took place is Bali. Suggestions have been CArbon tax, caps on emissions. "cap and trade, system inn which it would be hard caps on emissions and tradable credits for those who perform under the limits.(all this would be clearer as the years come and new treaties will be sign) The canadian council of chief executives, mean while earlier proposed higher energy prices to cut emissions, saying canada should become "an energy and enviormental superpower."if you are among the majority who believe climate change is a catastrophe in the amking, the answer is not so difficult.
"Seize the moment, this moment, for the good of all humanity," said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in address to the recent conferenece on climate change i Bali." the scientific realities affecting our planet demand a high level of ambition."
