Explanation
The blank agrees with the clue “melting ice,” thus floes, a synonym for glaciers, is correct. Trap answer dirges relates to “lamented” but is not what is decreasing in Greenland.
Floes.

The semi colon indicates a continuation of the idea, thus both parts of the sentence must support the same idea.
Since they fear the melting of ice, the proponents of climate change theory must have lamented the melting of ice in Greenland.
Clearly the word is floes, which are sheets of ice floating on water.
