Although the anti-science clowns(R) claim it's a hoax,

many parts of the world are having to deal with Climate Change, while Big Oil slips YUUUGE money to Pub Congressmen to ignore the reality. Interesting story today about a town in Alaska which will have to be abandoned, soon.

Laid out on a narrow spit of sand between the Tagoomenik River and the Bering Sea, the village of 250 or so people is facing an imminent threat from increased flooding and erosion, signs of a changing climate.

With its proximity to the Arctic, Alaska is warming about twice as fast as the rest of the United States and the state is heading for the warmest year on record. The government has identified at least 31 Alaskan towns and cities at imminent risk of destruction, with Shaktoolik ranking among the top four.
