The effects of climate change can be seen across the world. Scientists says it's more vital than ever to address it. Angela Maclean reports from Iceland where there are signs that the climate is changing. Retreating glaciers is one of the more visible signs. If temperatures continue to rise as predicted, scientists warn that Iceland's glaciers will be all but gone in 200 years time. There are other indicators also. The sea around Iceland is getting warmer and changes in weather patterns in recent years could - if they continue - be linked to climate change.
