Hi Mike
Sent your message on to Jim in Alaska - this is his reply.

Joan,
no not true. The only thing that is happening is the fish resources are 
dwindling, but that is happening all over the world due to over fishing by 
the Japanese, and a couple of other nations.
One of the things that is taken very seriously is conservation here. You 
might be surprised that the number one conservationist is the oil companies. 
All of their vehicles carry a plastic pan to put under the engine so that 
won't even put a drop of oil on the tundra. 
If there is any global warming you couldn't  prove it by me, and this winter. 
We set a record for snow last month. It is also far colder this year then 
last.
See ya,
Jim

warming. I have read and also had some confirmation that the permafrost has
melted and that houses have sunk as a result. That migration has changed,
fish species have moved and others have taken their place, and that the
brown bear has moved further north and displaced the polar bear. the
migrations have changed and hibernation is later.
