Effects of global warming in Alaska

This article talk about a small town in Alaska, in which the effects of global warming are visible in their everyday lives. The temperature in Alaska has risen 4 times the rate as the rest of the world. Due to this, the small town has been forced to relocate the entire town 12 miles south of it's original location. Since the ice is present less than what it had been in previous years the natural event known as erosion has begun to eat away at their tiny town and forced them to relocate.

Do you think this will be enough to wake up the American people to the fact we must do something NOW to save our live, at least how we know it? Now that I'm armed with all the information we have be exposed to, I feel that we have no choices but to take action now. I'm trying so hard to think of ways to do my part. This small little town will soon be gone, and who's fault will it be? Your and mine?
