I'm not sure how many more warnings we need to finally come to our senses and realize that we are damaging the environment. Everything that we do is leading to irreversible damage we'll be able to do nothing about.?
An iceberg the size of a hill has drifted close to a tiny village on the western coast of Greenland, causing fear that it could swamp the settlement with a tsunami if it caves.
A danger zone close to the coast has been evacuated and people have been moved further up a steep slope where the settlement lies, a Greenland police spokesman told Reuters.
¡°We can feel the concern among the residents. We are used to big icebergs, but we haven¡¯t seen such a big one before,¡± Susanna Eliassen, a member of the village council in Innaarsuit, told KNR.
The government and police are on high alert and have moved a search-and-rescue (SAR) helicopter closer to the remote village with about 170 inhabitants. Last summer, four people had died after waves swamped a settlement in northwestern Greenland.
