workshops on melting glaciers in the Arctic region. This is one of four topics
that will be highlighted during Iceland's chairmanship of the Arctic Council in
2019–2021. The session was organized in cooperation with the Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Network

This has inevitably led to confusion and poor understanding of the public’s perception about
climate change issue, rendering mitigation and adaptation even more difficult. Nonetheless, the
worst part of the story rests in that the public are not just passive message receivers. They process

The climatic research community soon became aware of the unusual situation. Before 1940 this temperature rise seemed attributable to an anthropic increase
