There still seems to be pretty good permafrost here. Most building are built off of the ground so we don't see shifting.
Lots of people are concerned about climate change becuase the sea ice goes faster every year. There is also a lot of disagreement between scientists and elders about things like Polar Bear populations. Although there are some disagreements, scientists do consult with elders who have been seen many things change over the years.
