366W6044.jpg As global warming impacts, water as a resource, will become a real concern. Areas already dry will become drier leading to massive increases in desertification and wet areas will become wetter leading to increases in flooding. Areas that rely on glacial meltwater for their water resource will struggle as the glaciers disappear. A Border Collie dog leaps nito a tarn in Grasmere, UK

12620024.jpg Whooper Swans feeding at Martin Mere bird reserve, Lancashire UK. The UK has had a network of Wildfowl (ducks, swans and geese) counters for many years who record the numbers of wildfowl that migrate to the UK in winter to escape the harsh winter conditions on their breeding grounds in Iceland. Greenland, Scandinavia and Siberia. Due to warmer winters fewer birds are now making the hazardous journey as they find more favourable conditions further north as the climate warms.

12620030.jpg Whooper Swans at Martin Mere Lancashire UK. For years the UK has had a network of wildfowl (ducks, geese and swans) counters who record the numbers of wildfowl migrating to the UK for the winter from their breeding grounds in Siberia, Scandinavia, Iceland and Greenland. As temperatures warm fewer birds are making the journey as they find favourable conditions for over wintering further north than ever before.

12630020.jpg Whooper Swans feeding at Martin Mere wildlife reserve in Lancashire, UK. Numbers of these wild birds that migrate to the UK for winter have decreased as they find more favourable conditions for overwintering closer to their breeding grounds in the Arctic, as conditions there warm up.

366W6156.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.
