Belugas no longer visit, he laments,<\/p>\n

and the sea ice thins earlier every year.<\/p>\n

His house sinks as permafrost no longer is.<\/p>\n

Seabirds wash up on the beach<\/p>\n

as their prey migrate to cooler waters.<\/p>\n

He must take his four wheeler further<\/p>\n

to find caribou and gas gets more expensive,<\/p>\n

he says as he adjusts his Exxon Mobil cap.<\/p>\n
