20121225_B18A5301.jpg Massive landslides in the annapurna Himalayas, Nepal. The Himalayas are relatively recent mouyntins being built by plate tectonics. As they are pushed up, they are folded and crumbled and become unstable. Large landslides are a common feature of the Himalayas.

366W0059.jpg For the Inuit residents of Shishmaref, a tiny island between Alaska and Siberia, climate change 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 many 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. This shot shows the islands edge collapsing and being eroded

20080709_IMG_9999.jpg The Russells Glacier draining the Greenland icesheet inland from Kangerlussuaq on Greenlands west coast. This glacier has speeded up in recent years and is also receeding rapidly due to human induced climate change. Greenland has warmed nine degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. Scientists believe the glacier is moving faster as increased quantities of meltwater are flowing down through moulins to reach the base of the glacier which then acts as a lubricant and allows the glacier to flow faster. With a wind turbine.

IMG_7685_danger.jpg On Thursday 19th November 2009 over 31cm of rain fell in 24 hours on the Cumbrian mountains. The single largest rainfall total in the British Isles since records began. It caused unprecedented flooding, with Cockermouth being particularly badly hit after both the Cocker and Derwent burst their banks. The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. Here a footbridge over the River Derwent in Workingotn is one of many that was destroyed or damaged in the flood.

IMG_1340_beeswax.jpg A beehive in Cockermouth, Cumbria, UK that has been infected and damaged by the Varoa mite. The Varoa mite is a parasite of honeybees that has increased hugely in recent years as a result of milder winters caused by climate change. The mite attacks both the adults and brood bees, sucking their blood and causing damage. Many bee colonies around the world, have collapsed due to the mite, deeply worrying as honeybees are resposible for pollinating the majority of food crops that humas rely on for food.
