Icebergs are reflected on the water's surface near Jakobshavn fjord, Ilulissat, in this May 15, 2007 file photo. As politicians squabble over how to act on climate change, Greenland's ice cap is melting, and faster than scientists had thought possible. If the ice cap melted entirely, oceans would rise by 7 metres (23 feet), flooding New York and London, and drowning island nations like the Maldives. To match feature CLIMATE-GREENLAND/WARMING
