Retreating Ice Fields Impact Native Greenlanders

KANGERLUSSUAQ, GREENLAND - SEPTEMBER 03: (ISRAEL OUT) An inuit girl sits on a swing September 03, 2007 in the village of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. Even though the disappearing ice cap could lead to higher sea levels all over the world, Greenland's Inuit population are the first to feel the effects of global warming. Records show that the average air temperature has risen by four degrees Celsius over the past decade while the water temperature has climbed by two degrees. Fishermen and hunters avoid the fjords where the ice has become too thin to travel on, and fish such as cod, that prefer warmer water, are beginning to be seen in their nets.
