Shishmaref, Alaska (Dec. 3) -- When the arctic winds howl and angry waves pummel the shore of this Inupiat Eskimo village, Shelton and Clara Kokeok fear that their house, already at the edge of the Earth, finally may plunge into the gray sea below. "The land is going away," said Shelton Kokeok, 65, whose home is on the tip of a bluff that's been melting in part because of climate change. "I think it's going to vanish one of these days."

Morris says the changes in Shishmaref — the melting sea ice, the disappearing seals and polar bears, the crumbling coastline — are beyond the village’s control
Polar bear sightings are common. HMMMMMMMMMM? Reads suspiciously like the have it both ways society. There’s another “little” issue in there as well, the supply of dried seal meat, by the house. How does that square with the disappearing seals Huh?
“All we need to do, then, is to send money to the Great White Father and sacrifice a gaot.
That must have been in the pre Barak Hussein Obama era.
Probably better to send money and Larry Sinclair.
Indeed the same thing happened in lake Michigan in 67&68 waves pummel the shore many homes lost or moved and it stopped,nothing new it’s called nature at work.
Pretty well, when you think about it.
And fon’t forget to add it is a ‘barrier island’ made of (gasp) sand.
The CoE ans already wasted millions of shore protection and other schemes.
And now, millins more to move the village.
Not near enough ghost towns in Alaska.
No more than all the Bubbas taking the dole in Ta-has.
