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.

366W5919_melting.jpg An Inuit fishing boat sails through Icebergs from the Jacobshavn glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and is the largest glacier outside of Antarctica. It calves enough ice in one day to supply New York with water for one year. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day (19 metres per day before 2002) and has also receeded rapidly (40 km since 1850) due to human induced climate change as temperatures have risen in Greenland by 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. An underwater moraine at the mouth of the fjord grounds the largest icebergs causing a backlog of ice completely blocking the entire length of the fjord with ice.

IMG_5281_crop damage.jpg A vinyard in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. Victoria and New South Wales have been impacted by the worst drought in living memory. The crops will not grow without irrigation water which the farmers have to purchase. Vinyards are having to spend up to $100,000 a year on irrigation water which hugely impacts on their profitability. In some areas vinyard owners have had to give up altogether, as they could no longer afford to purchase water. Climate change is likely to make drought conditions more common, impacting on crop production and food security in many areas. These vines have been left to wither and die as the farmer could no longer afford to irrigate them. Ironically the area has had some rain which has allowed the grass to grow, but is too late for the vines.

IMG_5287_energy reserves.jpg The Beltana number 1 mine, an open cast or drift coal mine managed by Xstrata coal in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. If we are serious about tackling climate change, coal, the dirtiest of fossil fuels, needs to be kept in the ground. Sadly around 85% of all Austtralians energy is generated from coal fired power stations. They also export huge quantities around the world, especially to China.
