Plenty of ice

Some numbers are just to big to understand. The volum of the ice on Greenland is one of them.
It is estimated to: 2 668 000 000 000 000 tons of ice. Enough to rise the sea level 7 meter, 22 feet around the world. Hopefully it wont melt.
Global warming is more than just mild winters.

What was the weight of ice when Chicago was under a mile of ice in the last Ice Age, and how many fires did the cavemen have to light to melt that ice?

None, of course. Simply breathing will do it...animals exhale carbon dioxide, a (Gasp!!) Greenhouse Gas!.

Quick, everyone, stop breathing! We have to save the planet! (Of course I had the wisdom to invest in Breathing Credits, sold by me. So I can continue to breathe but the rest of you: Shut those nostrils---NOW.)

Dont laugh, its probably just a matter of time. Here is an draving of how it can be done. Note the official gouverment badge on his breast pocket.
There will also probably be a farthing fee, but its difficult to tell how to collect the money as the biggest idiots are known to slip away from paying anything.
