IMG_5862_p.jpg The Perlan building in Reykjavik, Icleand. The structure was designed around 5 huge water tanks that hold geothermally heated water. This hot water is used to provide household heating as well as heating, schools, municipal buildings, and even used for keeping the capitals pavements ice and snow free in winter via a network or under pavement pipes. The geothermal water helps icelanders to have a much reduced carbon footprint, as their heating is carbon free.

IMG_9745 (1)_p.jpg PHD scientist Ian Bartholomews theodolite tripod being used to measure the speed of the Russelll Glacier near Kangerlussuag Greenland. The study is looking at how increasing quantities of melt water caused by climate change are affecting the glaciers speed which like most glaciers in Greenland has speeded up considerably in the last 20 years. It is thought that the meltwater helps lubricates the glaciers base enabling it to flow faster. As part of the study reflective poles were drilled 4 metres into the ice to measure their speed at various positions on the glacier. Within a month all the poles had fallen over as the glacier melted down over 4 metres

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.
