Chicken little does not need to look up, although he may need a snorkel and fins here shortly. Shortly is a relative term, but it is a term that means it is coming...
I found a link for you to look at that discusses the receding ice in Greenland. Funny how Greenland is covered in ice and Iceland has a lot of green land on it...
This article from the NY times discusses the global warming issues in Greenland and the melting icecaps. I will add that this is not to say that man is the cause, however, at this time based on our use of fossil fuels we are certainly not the solution. Our neglect to pay attention to this matter and to begin to zero out our carbon emissions as our global population continues to increase, and our demand for energy, we will find ourselves accelerating the issue if we do not find other cleaner fuels to maintain our lifestyles globally.
Greenland, Ice and Instability is a powerful article on the realities of what is happening to our planet today. There are scientists that say that man is not the cause of this, which could be true, but again, we are certainly not trying to become a solution at this time either. Perhaps a bit more conscious work towards accepting this fact and we might find it in ourselves to create some change.

Do you think we need to seek out higher ground? We could be under water in a short time:)
Anyway...Even if we aren't totally responsible for this, it is still important for us to come up with a solution since it will be affecting all of us.
