Greenland boasts one of the world's largest ice sheets, and 81% of its surface is covered with glaciers. However, "Iceland" is confronted with a crisis—that is, a world without ice! The unusually high temperature is causing the ice caps in northern Greenland to melt rapidly. The data indicates that Greenland's glaciers generate 6 billion metric tons of water per day, enough to fill 7.2 million standard Olympic-size swimming pools in a matter of three days. If all the ice caps covering Greenland were to melt, the global sea level would rise by 7 meters. For low-lying islands, the melting of ice is a deadly threat. The catastrophic mass flood will submerge coastal countries, forcing a great number of people to flee their homes. However, because the rise in sea level is a delayed disaster, many people dismiss it or even doubt that it poses a threat to humans. In real-ity, certain regions have already been ravaged. In January 2023, the Chinese Central Televi-sion (CCTV) reported that the Pacific island nation of Fiji experienced a rise in sea level and subsequent flooding of its villages. This resulted in financial losses and the displacement of local residents. Global climate change was cited in the report. Over 600 communities, including 42 villages that are seriously threatened, are ex-pected to be relocated, according to official data from Fiji. There is no time to waste in slowing down the melting of the glaciers be-cause the risks are infinite. To solve the problem, the source of the issue must be identified first. As a matter of fact, the melting of Greenland's glaciers is the inevi-table consequence of global warming, which is mainly attributed to the emission of carbon di-oxide. With the advancement of technology comes the industrial era, which demands facto-ries to work day and night while emitting a great deal of carbon dioxide from consuming fossil fuels. In the meanwhile, such consump-tion leads to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The International En-ergy Agency (IEA) reported that global carbon dioxide emissions increased by 0.9 percent in 2022, which was an all-time high. It is thought that carbon dioxide raises the temperature of the earth by absorbing heat that would other-wise be released into space. The average tem-perature of the Earth's surface has increased by roughly 0.6 Celsius since the turn of the 20th century. Over the last forty years, there has been a negligible increase in average tempera-ture of approximately 0.2–0.3 Celsius. Defor-estation also decreases the planet's ability to capture significant amounts of carbon dioxide, which exacerbates the situation globally. Forests are able to both release oxygen and absorb car-bon dioxide. The University of Oxford in the United Kingdom has reported that the forests have the capacity to absorb almost 2 billionmetric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmo-sphere each year. Moreover, the forest stores half of the carbon that is present on land, de-spite making up only one-third of the total land area. How should we respond to the melting of glaciers, given that the main culprit is carbon emissions? In my perspective, governments and the general public should work hand in hand to work out solutions. To begin with, to cut greenhouse gas emissions, governments should, among other things, support clean energy and increase energy efficiency. In order to promote low-carbon lifestyles and increase public awareness of global warming, governments should also improve environmental education. Secondly, every citizen is a steward of the earth. When the distance is not too great, using the bus or bicycle is undoubtedly preferable to driving when we commute on a regular basis. We should also increase our consumption of renewable energy sources through the installa-tion of solar water heaters or solar panels in our homes. By and large, if the ice caps on Greenland are to be kept from melting rapidly, it is im-perative that the issue of glacier melting be treated seriously. We must work with the gov-ernment and take action if we wish to save "Iceland" and, more significantly, the planet.
