I have lived in Alaska for 56 years, and there is nothing normal about it anymore. Everything is in flux. I am in Juneau, in the Southeastern temperate banana belt…and it is blowing 50 knots and it is about 12 degrees before you account for the 25 below wind chill. Last winter we had record breaking snowfall, and just 20 miles to the south, there was TWICE as much. The permafrost is melting faster exponentially, it won't be long before the permafrost in which the oil pipeline was laid in will be throwing the pipe into weird angles. Lets hope it stays together. New species are arriving, old feeding patterns are changing and subsistence hunting practices are always in question. The ice melt depletes the krill upon which the whales feed. Ic melt destroyst the walrus habitat and they are dying by the thousands, hauling out on the rocks in Russia now, polar bear and seal habitat is diminishing as well. For about the last 15 years, there is no such thing as a normal weather pattern….so I have a
blog about "Global Warming and its Effect on Art" or "Baked Alaska" or "The Art of Global Warming"….can't decide on the name yet….but its at http://www.danderoux.blogspot.com

Let's address just the past 100 years!
The world change to industrial war as we sort of know it petro powered ships and planes after massive factories using fuel coal etc. began supplying the military industrial complex with steel chemicals and plastics.
All the byproducts of production have changed our entire biospere (world).
Profit rules amd people suck that is the way countries are run not all of them but especially the rich ones that are our problem G.W.B.. Greed.
We the Great whiteman have screwed ever native indian that we have ever met.
Even our food and cooking has no resemblence to the past.
We cut down the trees for mailings we don't even want.
Trees produce oxyagen from carbon dioxide. Duh!
The animals die we are next and i have to hear some idiot complain that he may loose his job if we make the auto industry change to improved cars and trucks.
I'd move but this is a global fight for the world to survive.
I'm doing with less to do my best but i still have friends that buy gas guzzlers just to show off. Duh!
The indians didin't deserve this even though the oil men don't care.
Remember the buffolo over 14 million and we destroyed then also. Now it's our turn.
