In Greenland, the Inuit hunt over snow and ice with their sled dogs. But the centuries-old tradition is under threat. Winters are getting shorter and there is often not enough snow. Climate change is transforming life on the world's largest island.

I spent 3 months in Greenland in 1990, the Greenlanders helped me so much. Great memories, greetings from Australia.

It must be very frustrating to have your way of life is disappearing

I always thought Greenland was here in North America. Amazing that it's considered part of Europe. Just the same- so devastating that they're dealing with that as well.

It’s so barbaric to make the dog pull the humans. It should be the other way around. Humans should run and pull and dogs ride.

Interesting...
Thank you🙏
I live for information on things like this.
I find human relations and culture very interesting. In a world where we are bombarded by the culture of consuming and throw away and repeat, from influencers etc...all monotone and plastic.

There is an affordable solution to climate change. Meers mirrors probably our greatest hope, but awareness of them need to be spread and governments need to be elected on the promise they'll deploy these meers mirrors. Spread this message about. Spread it everywhere you can. We can beat global warming, the technology exists but we need people to spread this message everywhere asap

They don't look like Inuit hunters.

Scientists were on point with there predictions.

Is he hitting the dogs with a whip? Smh!

or liquid nitrogen on the arctic to keep the ice from melting

But isn't the surface mass balance of the greenland ice sheet positive? The weight of the glacier pushes it down hill. If the glaciers are shrinking, we would expect iceberg activity to at least slowdown, but this isnt the story right now...

Possible causes of the Medieval Warm Period include increased solar activity, decreased volcanic activity, and changes in ocean circulation.[

And someone will call for Zouma's head

I’d have thought global warming would be welcome news in Greenland.

A better world is coming! 😀😀 Jehovah God's Kingdom ruled by Christ Jesus will save the planet from ruination and restore the earth and faithful humans back to perfection! Luke 23:43 Rev 11:18

I never liked humans who torture animals, they would do same to humans. I would do same to these two humans as they do to dogs : whip, pull and dogs to bark on sledge when needs to be repeated.
