IMG_2924_palm tree.jpg A palm tree growing in Stromness in the Orkney Isles, Northern Scotland, UK. The Orkney Isles lie on a similar latitude as Bergen in Norway and to southern Alaska, amazing then that palm trees grow. The only reason they do is because of the Gulf Stream which bathes the Orkneys in relatively warm water from further south, making the islands mainly snow and frost free. Climate change is slowing the Gulf Stream, as more fresh water from melting glaciers pours into the north Atlantic.

366W0188_shishmaref.jpg Shishmaref a tiny island between alaska and siberia in the Chukchi sea is home to around 600 inuits or eskimos. As hunter gatherers their carbon footprint is tiny and as such are least responsible for global warming. Yet they are suffering greatly as a result. Their problem is twofold as temperatures rise the sea ice that used to protect thier island home forming around late september is now not forming until late december. this leaves them vulnerable to autumn and early winter storms that are eroding their island and washing it into the sea. Already 10 houses have been washed into the sea and more have had to be moved back from the edge. They are looking at having to relocate their whole comunity to the mainland but the government is refusing to pay for the relocation. Secondly the animals that they rely on for food are moving further north as temperatures warm making them harder to find and hunt threatening their ancient culture and identity.

366W0077_petrol.jpg For the Inuit residents of Shishmaref, a tiny island between Alaska and siberia, global warming is a double whammy. Firstly sea ice that used to envelop the island around late September is now not forming until December. this leaves the island vulnerable to storms that have already washed 10 houses into the sea, leading to them being referred to as the worlds first refugees from global warming. Other houses have had to be moved back from the edge. Secondly the animals they rely on as part of their subsistance existance are becoming harder to find, as they migrate further north, away from the island. J J Weyiouanna in Shishmaref lagoon, fills his boat with deisel for a hunting trip to the mainland. The low lying nature of shishmaref can be seen in the background, leaving it vulnerable to coastal erosion
