“In Alaska, the beaches are slumping so much, people are having to move houses. In Tuktoyaktuk, the land is starting to go under water. The glaciers are melting and the permafrost is melting. There are new species of birds and fish and insects showing up. The Arctic is a barometer for the health of the world. If you want to know how healthy the world is, come to the Arctic and feel its pulse.”
![“Every [Alaskan] has witnessed climate change over the past fifty years. Our winters are warmer, our summers are longer, and our Arctic Village shores, once protected by sea ice are eroding.” quote by Ray Metcalfe](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8ef/ray-metcalfe-74268_alaskans_every-alaskan-has-witnessed-climate-chan_2980335.jpg)
