Greenland is opening up to a new future

More land is getting exposed in Greenland as a hundred millennia years old ice cover is lost to higher than average temperatures. According to this video at the current rate of melt it would take a thousand years before Greenland loses all of its ice. 1000 years is a long time to plan for and one might think–phew! (wipe brow) no big deal, but remember that there are already nations with thousands of people who are in trouble from a rising sea. Climate change deniers should put their money where it counts and invest in coastal cities not very high from sea level. There are many such cities all over the world or just go ahead and invest in a beach front property, but do that only after visiting the Maldives or Kiribati or Tuvalu.

Our planet is getting hotter incrementally year by year, anecdotal experience alone can confirm that. Human activity can be linked to this because there is no other natural phenomenon that can as yet be identified to cause such rapid increase in global pre-industrial temperature average. At this point the threat of climate change to humanity should be measured in decades not centuries. For most of us climate change is still a bearable nuisance but every decade of the 21st century is going to present new and disturbing even dangerous scenarios. Its is better to be vary of climate change than to ignorantly dismiss it as a hoax to escape taking personal responsibility on the state of Mother Earth. At this point waste and excess is dangerous. Anyway even if there are still many climate change deniers out there remember that it is still for all our betterment to live in a less polluted planet
