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.

IMG_0075_fish stocks.jpg A Fisheries patrol boat in Newlyn, Cornwall, UK. The boat checks on fishing vessels to see that they don't land more than their EU quotas allow. Many species of fish are declining rapidly, mainly due to over fishing, but climate change is starting to play a part as fish species migrate further norrth as the sea warms up.

366W6072_whale.jpg Fin Whales surfacing amongst 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.

366W5100_walney.jpg The south tip of Walney Island off Barrow in Furness in Cumbria hosts a massive mixed colony of Herring and Lesser Black Backed Gulls. Research shows that like many bird species they are nesting earlier in response to climate change. They are also being negatively impacted by a change in food supply. As the surrounding seas warm plankton migrate further north leading to a reduction in sand eels and other fish species that many seabirds depend on to feed their chicks.
