Emissions from melting permafrost could cost $43 trillion
New analysis of the effects of melting permafrost in the Arctic points to $43 trillion in extra economic damage by the end of the next century, on top of the more than the $300 trillion economic damage already predicted.
These results show just how much we need urgent action to slow the melting of the permafrost in order to minimise the scale of the release of greenhouse gases

Name: Edwin 1. Where are you originally from?
I was born in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico. My mother moved to Boston area in 1975, when I was 13 years old.
2. How old are you? I am 51 years old.
3. What was growing up like?
My Mom raised me and my siblings off of a house on Memorial Drive in Cambridge. My parents separated when I was really young because of alcoholism.
We lived a good life. I have four brothers and one sister (who passed in 1989).
It could be tough growing up in Cambridge/Boston in the '70's because of prejudice. My siblings and I had to fight just to go to and from school everyday. Being latino could get you killed, no what I'm saying? The harassment from whites didn't stop, even when we started to go to high school. I was scared about what could happen to me.
4. Why are you homeless?
It was a emptiness. Like," you are not worth anything" kind of emptiness. I always got the impression that I was nothing. It is no one's fault but my own.
Alcohol was my ultimate downfall. When I was a kid, I used to get alcohol for my grandmother, running errands (she was an alcoholic). I was never told that it wasn't right for me to drink. So I've been struggling with alcoholism most of my life. It runs in my family.
There have been times when I've been sober. I stayed sober for four years going to A.A. meetings in Boston. I even worked in landscapping then. But I had a bad back injury and went right back to alcohol.
The only thing that could help me now is going to a farm away from civilization for a few months to sober up.
Also, there was no father figure around so that got me into the street life. The street life is no joke either. You either hustle to survive, or die.
5.How long have you been homeless for?
Since I was 17. Mostly in Cambridge.
6. Any words for people reading your story?
The homeless are human beings too. Just like you. That is why I like the message of my sign, "Seeking Human Kindness." We are already human. We all need love and support from each other to grow in a healthy way. Also, think about the consequences of your actions. I am still paying for things I did when I was kid. I wish I had someone older telling me the reality of the costs for living in the streets.
7. Do you have any dreams?
I would like to have my own house one day! That is my dream.

Name: Keith 1. Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in Roxbury, MA. I grew up in Lenox Projects but then my family moved to Grove Hall when I was 13. 2. How old are you? I am 57 years old.
3. What was growing up like?
I grew up in Roxbury and it was tough. I have one brother and a set of twin sisters. One of our sisters died pretty early on in my childhood. I am the oldest sibling now of 4. My father would do odd jobs, while my mother was a stay at home mom. My mom was pretty God-fearing but my pops was not so much. When I was a teenager, my siblings and I had to deal with a lot of violence and racism going to and from school everyday, so we are all very close. We run a tight ship to protect each other. We used to get jumped by different Irish gangs and harassed by the local street element growing up.
4. Why are you homeless? Long story short, it has been my struggle with drugs and alcohol for the past 5 years. I was a cook for over 10 years and was really good at it. Unfortunately, what people don't talk about often is that there is a lot of alcoholism and drug abuse in the restaurant and food industry. A lot of chefs and cooks are on that stuff man. My habit started with alcohol but then I was introduced to heroin, and after that it has been a downward spiral ever since.
5. How long have you been homeless for?
Five years. I usually stay around between North Quincy and Cambridge. I just recently got some kind of transitional housing in North Quincy so I'm happy about that. 6. How do you get through the cold winters?
I try not to leave any warm place unless I have to.
7. What is your biggest struggle being homeless?
Again, drugs and alcohol. I can't stress to you enough how bad that shit is man. It has ruined my life, and that stuff ruins the lives of most of my friends out here. We really need HELP because we are fighting to live in these streets everyday. If people get anything from this interview, I want them to know to stay away from drugs. Run for dear life in the opposite direction! Do whatever you got to do to live.
8. Do you have any interest in working again? Job skills?
I have worked in restaurants, so I cook pretty well. I would be open in taking on a part time gig at a local restaurant if given the chance and opportunity.

1. What is your Name?
Paul
2. Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in Dorchester, MA. 3. How old are you? I am 43 years old.
4. What was growing up like?
I grew up in Dorchester, in a middle class household. My father owned a business and my mother was a stay-at-home wife. I have one brother and two sisters, and I am the oldest. It was not that bad. Back then, it was easier to hold a steady job, and you didn't need both parents working. But not now! You just don't see that anymore. My father provided for all of us, and we never had a want. Since I was the oldest, I was always looking after my siblings, making sure that they were in line. 5. Why are you homeless? I was a van driver for 20 years! I lost my job with a private transportation company after working for them for years. The lay off was a plot. They had laid off co workers over a matter of months and I had noticed it. Then they came for me. I overslept one morning and the company fired me on the spot. This was my first written offense. No warning, no conversation about it. Just a "See Ya Later!". This was four years ago. I am disabled and suffer PTSD from my military service, so it was really hard to find another job. I had a steady and seemingly dependable thing going, and the lay off blind sighted me. It wasn't long after that I lost my residency, and pretty much everything else. My kids stay with their mother now. Which is tough because I love them so much.
6. How long have you been homeless for?
Three years. I usually stay around the Park St. area in Boston. 7. How do you get through the cold winters?
I usually deal with the cold weather by going to the Pilgrim Church shelter. They're pretty good. Either that, or I try to stay inside the train station where buses are pulling in and out. It is dangerous, but it is better than freezing to death.
8. What is your biggest struggle being homeless?
I am tired of people looking down on me. The reality is that most people are really only a paycheck away from being homeless. I want people to show more kindness to others. When I get negativity from people, I just let it go. You haven't been through what I've been through, so please don't judge me!
9. Do you have any interest in working again? Job skills?
I have worked in restaurants, so I do food services pretty well. I obviously have driving skills. I would be very interested in driving again. However, I would need help renewing my driver's license.
