So many people never believed in climate change and we suffer it every year every season all along Alaska. My dad used to play hockey on the ocean when he was a child, it froze over in the winter and by the time I was child we never got ice in the same bay.
Villages next to rivers who used to be on top of permafrost are suffering suddenly from sinking into the ground once the frost has melted or the land simply melting away with the river and having to leave your home behind. Flooding now the permafrost does not carry you and keep you safe.
Warm winters, overly heated summers, the death of what we loved, whales, berries, birds, fish, caribou and moose suffering illness. Crab washing up on beaches, our best plants in the mountains drying out or being gathered by those who can no longer reach the valley.
My life has always been terrifying and so many people never understood the cause or fear until now, and so many people still don’t understand or care.
The world is dying and all you care for is what you receive from suffering, if you haven’t seen it yet, it is coming for you next.
Amongst all the sadness and hatred we see on land and its people we see the hatred of those who wish for a better life, I’m sick and tired of seeing it.
