My name is Tyler Sadutto. I am from North America, but am currently attending university in Europe. What I find to be the most pressing issue in the Arctic is environmental injustice, because global climate change goes beyond degradation of the environment and is negatively impacting the livelihoods of many indigenous Inuit populations. The increase in temperature, which leads to an increase in glacier melt, is destroying the habitat of many Arctic species through flooding, and is causing many terrestrial Arctic species to drown. Meanwhile, the increase in CO2 emissions has caused a 26% increase in oceanic acidity, since the CO2 combines with ocean water to form carbonic acid. Since the Inuit population hunts all of its own food, the reduction in species due to climate change is leading to starvation. The warming climate also alters global wind and oceanic circulation patterns, which leads to the bioaccumulation of Mercury and other toxins in the Arctic, which eventually biomagnify up the food chain until they are ingested by humans. Although the Inuit population is contributing very little to climate change, they are forced to face the brunt of climate change’s effects, and that is simply unjust. I believe others will act on this issue once they are aware of the problem itself. I believe many people can sympathize with the Inuits, and the only thing holding people back from wanting to act on this issue is a genuine lack of knowledge. It is so important to use social media to simply get the word out about the issue itself.
