The Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Adventure
The Implications of Global Warming
- Higher sea levels lead to larger scale erosion and flooding
- Some activities that depend on the existence of sufficient sea ice, such as hunting, traveling and fishing, will be threatened
- The sudden changes make weather prediction more difficult
- Certain animal species could be threatened by the changes in climate or forced to behave out of character
- Communities are forced to abandon their homes
