Changing Greenland Greenland is the largest island in the world but has a small population of 56,000, Many of these "Greenlanders' live close to the coastline because a large part of the country is covered with ice and glaciers. More than a quarter of all the people live in the capital, Nuuk. Since the 1960s, the country has had economic difficulties and social problems. Now, however, life is about to change dramatically for many Greenlanders - and all because of the weather. Most scientists agree that the world's climate is getting warmer and you can already see the difference in Greenland. For example, small icebergs - about the size of city buses - are oating near the coast. They have broken off from much larger areas of ice, further out in the ocean because of the change in temperature. Furthermore, the huge sheet of ice which covers Greenland is shrinking by about 75 cubic kilometres each year. If all of Greenland's ice melted, sea levels across the world would rise by 7.5 metres. One industry that is benefting from the melting ice is the oil industry. Nowadays, the sea around the west coast of Greenland has no ice for six months of the year. This means oil companies can explore this area. They plan to drill for oil in the next few years. Greenlanders have mixed feelings about this modern development. The Arctic people are the ones most exposed to climate change but the country needs a strong economy. Local people don't have any other natural resources for the time being that hold as much potential as oil. Farming will also change. The growing season is longer with spring arriving earlier and longer summers. On the one hand, if the country produced more of its own food, it wouldn't need to import so much. On the other hand, some farmers are worried. They think the drier summers might create new problems. For example, last year, the summer was so dry that farmers produced half the normal amount of food. I spent my last night in the town of Qaqortoq with farming families at their annual celebration before the summer begins. After dinner, everyone started singing this traditional song: "Summer, summer, how wonderful, how incredibly good. The frost is gone, the frost is gone". The song is about the importance of summer in a place where, in the past, the winters were long and the summers were short. As nature and the weather changes in Greenland, I wondered if they would still sing this song in a hundred years' time. They might not. C.
