If we could cut carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent over the next 20 years we could perhaps prevent this. If we continue burning fossil fuels as we are today in the very near future (the ice shelf) will slip in (the ocean).
Having traveled for 45 years in the Arctic, what I've seen the last 15 years is shocking. We need to finally face up that we have an issue here and we need to get back to solutions.
We knew this was happening 15 years ago. But it's only been in the past few months that the information has been spread by the media.
