Climate Change in Denmark and Greenland:  Past-Present-Future

by Kyle Dittmer, Hydrologist - Meteorologist, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, Portland, Oregon

ABSTRACT:  Trends in climate (i.e., temperature and precipitation) are summarized for the last 100 years for Denmark and Greenland.  Current climate change is accelerating as evidenced with more extremes in the weather each year.  Future climate change suggests the warming to continue and accelerate.  What about a catastrophic collapse of our climate?  The key to our climate future may be locked up in glaciers of Greenland.  Mr. Dittmer just returned from Copenhagen, Denmark, after an interview with government climate researchers.  He will share insights from the Danish scientists on the direction of our 21st century climate, including abrupt climate change and a possible new ice age.
