Inuit (Eskimos) take case of Global Warming to Human Rights Commission

The natives of the northern hemisphere called the Inuit or more commonly known as the Eskimos have been feeling the changes in climate for the past decade. They feel that the United States is to blame for global warming due to them releasing one quarter of the worlds carbon dioxide emissions.

Experienced hunters are now falling through thin ice because they cannot tell of melted ice from warmer oceans on the under side. The animals they have hunted for years are migrating north in search of ice which is becoming more stressful on the indigenous people of the arctic. These people are now using air conditioners for the first time because their homes are heated by the increasingly warmer sunlight temperatures 24 hours a day. Some can no longer build their homes from snow due to the melting going on. One thing is sure to the Inuit people, and that is the climate is changing for them at a rapid pace, and they want the rest of the world to know.
