An island made by global warming (and many to be destroyed)

According to an article today in the British newspaper The Independent:
The map of Greenland will have to be redrawn. A new island has appeared off its coast, suddenly separated from the mainland by the melting of Greenland's enormous ice sheet, a development that is being seen as the most alarming sign of global warming.
Sure, it's just an ice sheet. But it's also just the beginning. Further melting will threaten coastal towns and cities, and could even "remove several island countries such as the Maldives from the face of the earth."

So tell me: Do you really need to drive that bloated SUV?
