366W7905_tuvalu.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.

IMG_7414_melting.jpg A tourist at Jokulsarlon ice lagoon framed by a melting ice berg. Jokulsarlon is one of the most visited places in Iceland. It has been created by the rapid retreat of the Breidamerkurjokull glacier which sweeps down off the Vatnajokull ice cap. Ice bergs calve off the front and float into the lagoon before floating out to sea when small enough. All of Icelands glaciers are retreating rapidly, and are predicted to disapear completely in the next 100 years. James Bond and Batman movies have been filmed at the ice lagoon.

All of Icelands glaciers are retreating rapidly, and are predicted to disapear completely in the next 100 years. James Bond and Batman movies have been filmed at the ice lagoon. Tourists can take boat trips out to get close up views of the icebergs.

IMG_0304_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

366W4156_heron.jpg A Grey Heron on the shores of Grasmere in the Lake district UK. This bird is far more common in the UK than it was 30 years ago. This is probably partly due to the cleaning up of rivers and water courses but is mainly due to climate change causing much milder winters. In the past harsh winters would leave their feeding grounds frozen leading to many Herons starving in winter
