Thinning Ice May Have Caused Deaths Of 2 Dutch Climate Researchers In Canadian Arctic - RCMP

1. Many Natives in both Alaska and Greenland Have drowned in the last few years.

I watched a video of a Climate change conference and a Native Alaska woman was distraught telling of how many of her cousins and family members had died in the last few years trying to hunt on the ice sheets as they have for thousands of years.

The ice is so thin and broken up, than people who have lived on it for their entire life are no longer safe.

A very similar story was told of hunters in Greenland going out and never coming back for similar reasons. This was detailed in the article "Rotten Ice" that was in an earlier excellent E&E post here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/112783158
