Feedback was light and the topic that most viewers discussed was Climate Change. Alarm over the threat that climate change represents to Alaska was present. Some felt climate change had a political association and was a “government tactic” to distract people from the “real issues”, while others expressed compassion for those having to bear the harsh weather conditions.
Below, you will see some opinions from viewers like yourself:
Look lake Atitlan in Guatemala , we have a BIG problem too
We really must take action fast!
Thank you for covering this.
it is so sad that there are so many people in the mountains and their precious ,rich lives will be affected by the climate change. Here ,in Pakistan also we have mountains and valleys where so many wonderful cultures and peoples survive.We have to record the climate changes and the affects on thier lives in our part of Himalayas too.This is a research in sociology and human anthropology which social scientists ought to encourage.Maybe the UNESCO people will link this debate .
What a lesson in "denial" for personal and political (monetary) gain. With this type of evidence before us from so many quarters, and evidence of past ecological traumas leading to the collapse of other, older civilizations and cultures, (Anasazi, Mayan, Easter Island,etc.) that there should STILL actually be a "debate" about the validity
I couldn't agree with you more Stephen. Thank you Christine for Maya' story. I had tears when it was finished.
Women bear the brunt of all adverse situations across societies in the world. That is the unfortunate history of mankind. We therefore need a new humankind for the future, where all human beings, irrespective of their gender, will share the burden of responsibility equally, even if in ways that each one can contribute more effectively.
