Alaska's climate is generally 4 to 5 degrees below zero most of the time. Huge icebergs would slide off the gravel shores in October and never break up in the river. Not many plants or shrubs in these types of areas, because there was more room for polar bears and other animals, and land erosion was slow, until as global warming begins, so now the erosion is faster. Temperatures have risen 7 degrees in the past 50 years, so the huge icebergs don't appear in the fall. The average annual air temperature in Alaska has increased 4 degrees F to 5 degrees F over the past 30 years, compared to the annual average. 1 degree F' on average worldwide, leading to melting of the state's glaciers; vast areas of forest are destroyed by insects; and thawing permafrost causes roads, pipelines and homes to sink. Offshore ice is less stable, and icebergs freeze later and break up earlier, and the spring season is changing, so more shrubs and plants are growing, fall waves are rising, and permafrost is thawing . Barrier islands are shifting and the area of ​​sea ice that has shrunk is as big as Texas and Arizona combined, which also means polar bears are stranded and now getting closer to people. As people move forward, 600 residents become more and more vulnerable to severe storms. like hurricanes and blizzards. Richard Glenn, geologist and ice scientist, says: “Things that were true for fathers will not be true for sons. » Shishmaref, Alaska, which is on a barrier island, has fewer options and less time to decide its future: either disperse or disperse. his old tribe, or move to a new place at a huge cost. The air of late September in the Arctic is colder than in winter, when moisture broke through layers of ...... middle of paper ...... in June again, berry picking in August and the ice-fishing season begins in October and allows these 600 inhabitants, now vulnerable to violent storms, to be completely impervious to the full force of nature. So get out there, get a green thumb and make a difference.Works Cited; Wohlforth, Charles. “As the Arctic melts, an ancient culture faces ruin. » National wildlife (world edition).
