IMG_2109_cricket.jpg On the anniversary of the catastrophic bush fires, Kinglake and Marysville play a memorial charity cricket match at Marysville which was one of the worst affected communities of the catastrophic 2009 Australian Bush Fires in the state of Victoria. 173 people were killed and many more left injured and traumatised, with 7000 left homeless. The fires were as a result of a prolonged drought and extreme high temperatures, conditions that are being exaserbated by climate change.

366W5975_football.jpg A football match in Ilulissat on Greenland. Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year. Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly

366W0124.jpg Global warming will lead to an increase in the severity and frequency of extreme weather events. The January 2005 storm that lashed cumbria with winds of 100 mph blew over more than 1 million trees. A plantation on Black Fell near Ambleside was completely levelled, with trees uproted or snapped like match sticks

366W6494.jpg Funafuti atol, Tuvalu, on the front line of the battle against global warming. Only 15 feet above sea level at the highest point (with many parts of the island lying at or barely above current sea levels) rising sea levels are increasingly putting the island population of 10,000 Tuvaluans at risk. It seems likely that this island nation will be the first country to disapear completely as a result of climate change/global warming. Sea levels in the Pacific have risen slowly over the last 20 years and the rate of rise seems likely to increase as ice sheets and glaciers melt more rapidly with ever warming temperatures. Tuvalu is the smallest country in the world, only 26 Km2, and most vulnerable to sea level rise. It lies close to the equator and virtually on the international date line. Ever rising seas threaten to make the island uninhabitable. Already during the highest tides, sea water is forced up through the porous coral atol and floods many low lying areas of the island during the highest tides. This salt water incursion poisons the thin soils and makes growing crops increasingly difficult, leaving the Tuvaluans increasingly dependant on expensive imports. As well as sea level rise the weather patterns are altering with a shift in the cyclone period by a month and an increase in stormy weather. The stormy weather is creating greater wave erosion and many parts of the island are suffering land loss, as palm trees are washed into the sea as the island is undercut by wave action.
