I hear it on the news and on many peoples lips, global warming caused!!! how can this be? we did things right didn't we? reduced carbon emissions, IM tested, sought to save the trees, save the whales, save the oceans, but, here we are with the direct effects of Global Warming staring us in the face telling us what a poor job we did! I have a client looking to replace the home of many of the elders in a fishing community in which this "Global Warming" in particular, erosion, has taken their home and sent them to the mainland. Most areas have covenants that restrict the use of land from things like using the beach to dry fish in the custom of the native lifestyle, so where can they go? they need a road, they need an area which has services so that if an elder gets' hurt they can get help, but I understand their needs to be able to live as they lived on their own native soil. No answer yet to the dilemma of global warming and the effects on many native landins in Alaska. If I can't find a home for Native Alaskan Elders to live, how will the Polar Bear find a new home? Note: I'm not exactly a Green Peace type person and I'm not trying to talk "Save the World" I'm serious, I do have a cclient who is looking for Beach front easy access land on the Kenai, Alaska Peninsula where several elders can go build small cabins and fish and dry their fish living the way they did in their village which, was distroyed by erosion!
Anyone out there that can suggest a new home for a village of elders and maybe a few Polar Bear, please let me know. In the Kenai, Alaska Area Please.

If I hear about carbon imprints anymore I'm going to scream!!! This Al Gore crap is getting out of control. Once he and John Kerry start selling their mansion (where they water huge lawns), or sell their SUV's (love the gas), or stop jet setting throughout the country, then perhaps I'll start taking them a grain of salt.
