Alaskans Warn House Panel about Global Warming's Effects

WASHINGTON - Scientists, conservationists and even the mayor of the eroding village of Shishmaref painted a grim picture of the effects of climate change in Alaska, including the loss of habitat for polar bears and the end of a way of life for native people.
"Going, going, gone," said Deborah Williams of Alaska Conservation Solutions, speaking to the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. "We must take action now; it is urgent. We want to be part of the solution, not just the poster child of the problem."
