Alaska

It is incredible how climate change has been experienced by Alaska, especially Shismaref, the first community to succumb to it. The biggest problem of this community is that it thinks that everything is there, the people, the sea, the land and they do not want to move from there, living in constant fear. Several affectations have been seen, including the death of a young man, in which the ice in which he contracted collapses, but this has not allowed them to stop being attached to their culture, values ​​and traditions.
Although it is a place that experiences global warming, it is not a hot place, referring to temperature. It is amazing how the ice is so important for them to survive, to be able to hunt they need it, because it is the only way they can reach the animals, In addition, this lack of ice also affects the conservation of food, affected health , especially in children, including diseases such as cancer in the elderly and it is the first time this is seen in this town, the water there is collected from the rain to survive, that is, the water for them has become their source of life and death. Storms have increased, when before there were only one or two in the year, where they lose 50 feet of ice.
Why should we worry about this? because the accelerated melting of glaciers will increase from 4 to 9, .5 the sea level will rise globally by 2100, especially affecting people living near the coasts. Then without wanting everyone we are connected to Shismaref, if perhaps, we will use a sustainable way of life, starting by decreasing our carbon footprint, we could contribute something, so that global warming does not increase more and Alaska can improve the quality of life of its inhabitants and save the whole world. it is now that we can initiate the change from our own homes. It is only a matter of owning and feeling our own problem and solution.
