Noella Cockney used to be able to drive her Ford pickup around the perimeter of her home, the three-bedroom house with the big porch that her late father built on the shore of the Beaufort Sea. In summertime, unmoored from the ice, the water flows outward from her property until it becomes the Arctic Ocean, an ebb without end at the northern tip of the northernmost point in the Northwest Territories.
Across the Arctic, powerful storms and thawing permafrost are causing the coastline to erode at speed, overrunning uninhabited islands and prompting people in seaside Alaskan villages to vote to relocate their entire community to safer ground inland: Newtok in 2003, Shishmaref more recently in 2016. “All the homeowners don’t want to leave the area,” Cockney said. “But the hamlet is not going to be protecting the shoreline.”
“You go through ecosystems,” said Drew Mitchell of Callander, Ont., describing the drive from Whitehorse, Yukon, he and his wife Shawna took last June to get married on a beach in Tuk. Tuktoyaktuk isn’t the only Canadian community where encroaching seas are swamping buildings and forcing people to consider moving, Whalen said: it’s commonplace in cottage country and problematic in parts of Nova Scotia, where he works for most of the year.
Earth going to cooling period, people picked the wrong horse, ( global warming), no it global cooling, try growing crops in the cold, people better pray its global warming, ECCC lies about temperatures day to day, sometimes by as much as 4 degrees, propaganda for taxes IMO
Cherry picking bs like the sick bears total bs imo
Sucks to be them. No amount of taxes will change that. At least they are smart enough to know you can’t fight nature. Politicians and fake experts are convinced if we shut down Canada’s economy we can. Listen to the elders. You can’t fight nature.
