Emmonak is a place that has cold winters but they have been getting warmer. It is noticably warmer according to the locals that I spoke with. The lady I spoke with today said the summers have gotten weird too. She said, Emmonak never got above 75 degrees in the summer. She said in recent years the summers have been hot. Last year, it even reached 100 degrees. 80 degrees was hot here and this 100 degree summer days is crazy. She said she thinks it is part of global warming. She said that new bugs have been seen here in recent years. For a people that rely on the land, wild animals and water to provide for bulk of their food, changes in weather can be devastating.

NPR is talking a lot about how the people whose lives are dependant on the snow and ice are the first to really notice global climate change. They are interviewing a lot of Alaskans about this issue now and broadcasting it nationally.
Sorry to share our 100 plus degree heat with Alaska. That's not supposed to be.
