Audio Slideshow: Greenland: a dangerously melting world

If you believe the following audio slideshow on the Guardian website then the sea level will rise by seven metres if all Greenland Circle’s ice melted.

By the time you read this me and David should be in Bangladesh.  Nowhere worth talking about in Bangladesh rises much above five meters, which means the whole country would be lost.

That’s the stuff of catastrophe movies.

Governments have to do something and the media has to do a better job both informing the public and holding governments to account for their lack of progress.  Unfortunately this audio slideshow does niether.
