In Alaska, climate change is showing increasing signs of disrupting everyday life

Climate change erosion caused by melting permafrost tundra and the disappearance of sea ice which formed a protective barrier, threatens houses from the Yupik Eskimo village of Quinhagak on the Yukon Delta in Alaska last month. By Ian Livingston Ian Livingston Email Bio Follow May 8 at 10:42 AM It was another cold season full of records in Alaska, mostly of the abnormally warm kind.

“Decreased ice extent and thinner, more mobile ice impacts the subsistence economies of western and northern Alaska communities by eliminating or reducing activities that use ice as a platform to work from,” Thoman wrote in an email. While impacts to some of the most prolific fisheries in the world have yet to show themselves strongly, scientists worry that we may now or soon be crossing thresholds that set off a catastrophic chain reaction.

Too bad. Still no proof that man made climate change is real in the face of solar system wide temperature fluctuations. Maybe you guys should worry less about the US's carbon emissions since we have become one of the greenest nations on earth and worry more about China and India.

Yes, even Alaska is now climate changing to Summer.

Yeah, but ok... how many people even LIVE up there.... a few hundred? They can come down to the lower 48 and work at one of trump's many fabulous golf resorts or something... And besides, trump assured us we're going to have an 'amazing climate'!!

Most it climate change or something wrong with Geological strata

Climate Change or Global Warming will eventually lead to the total conflagration of the entire cosmos- the Holy Bible says- 2Pt. 3:7 THIS IS WHY WE MUST ALL FOLLOW JESUS TO BE SAVED FROM THE IMPENDING DISASTER.

Analysis | The partisan gulf in Congress’s focus on climate changeDemocrats have been three times as likely to talk about climate change. Republicans talked more about coal miners. We want a GreenNewDeal! It is urgent that we ActOnClimate. Climate change is a very real and pressing issue, but hampering the U.S.’s economy to make change is not the right answer. The Asia Pacific accounts for over 50% of our worlds carbon emissions. If those countries do not change, there is no hope.
