Global warming was real about 15 years ago and the people then and now that was most evident and most impacted upon by the Inuits. They're the feckers getting wrecked by sea surges.
They're the feckers getting infrastucture wrecked by melting permafrost.
But here's what me and you once upon a time inadvertently elected to help these people. Some half wit gobe that wanted them to cut down on ski-doo time

The federal government's priority is to help northerners reduce greenhouse gas emissions rather than adapt to climate change, Environment Minister John Baird says. Baird made the comments Monday when asked about requests from Yukon Premier Dennis Fentie for federal help to deal with the results of global warming.
"Certainly adaptation is a significant challenge," he said. "It's obviously got to be part of any initiative but we can't set our sights away from the need to reduce greenhouse gases, the need to tackle climate change head on, which is obviously the most urgent priority."
Although he has "certainly been told about the schools that are beginning to shift because of the permafrost melting and the huge impact on public infrastructure and highways," Baird said these things have to be balanced against the need to slow down climate change.

Not a hope in hell. But the least they can do is adapt, learn and minimise consumption.
I'm calling it now. India is effed. Next 20-30 years you'll see a mother od all famine there from lack of water/food. Water table has dropped significantly. There's not a hope in hell of them sustaining their population.
