Question

How does the climatic change in Greenland effect the world

Answer 1

Climate change adaptation is a pressing issue in Greenland. The term climate changedescribes long-term changes to the climatesystem. Since the 1950s a stark rise in global temperatures has been observed.[1] As climate change, whether natural or anthropogenic, impacts the livelihoods of people across the globe, responses i.e. ways to prepare and adjust under changing vulnerabilities become important. Such responses are commonly discussed under the term adaptation, "the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects",[2] as defined by the IPCC.

Geographically Greenland is situated between the Arctic and the Atlantic Ocean, with one third of the island being north of the Arctic Circle.[3] Since the middle of the 20th century, the Arctic has been warming at about twice the global rate.[1][4] Rising temperatures put increasing pressure on certain plant and tree species[5] and contribute to Greenland's melting ice sheet.[6] This affects and changes the livelihood of the Greenlandic population, particularly the Inuit people, which make up to 80 percent of the total population.[7] Besides the decline of fish stocks, the country's landscape is changing: the melting ice reveals minerals, oil and gas. This has attracted interest from local and foreign investors for potential resource extraction. As new industries are accompanied by new job opportunities and potential wealth, lifestyles are changing. Greenland is in transition, in terms of biophysical as well as cultural and social conditions.
