The Arctic and Climate Change by Lori Lambert Salish Kootenai College Issues/Topics Impacts of climate change in the Arctic Animals of the Arctic ecosystems affected by climate change 3. Aspects of Arctic ecosystems 4. Polar bear adaptations 5. Inuit culture in a changing Arctic environment Learning Objectives: Students will: Analyze how the elements of Inuit culture depend on Arctic climates Analyze information on human caused climate change in the Arctic. Describe the adaptations of polar bears for life in the Arctic environment. Discuss how people and animals in the Arctic can adapt to climate change Brainstorm ways that we can all save energy and reduce our carbon footprint. Intended Audience: This case is suitable for use in undergraduate or graduate courses in Native American and Indigenous Studies, Geography, Environmental Studies, Wildlife Management, and Meteorology. Implementation and use: The instructor is responsible for setting out a framework for understanding the basic history, context and issues presented by this case. Depending on the level of knowledge and familiarity with climate change, Indigenous knowledge, Arctic environments, and Arctic wildlife, it may be necessary to prepare a pre-assignment and/or provide a lecture in advance so the students will have the basic knowledge to work a case set in the Arctic. A list of additional resources is provided at the end of the case that may be useful. This case can be taught in a 50-minute class or in a longer class if time is available. One approach would be to divide the students into small groups to discuss the questions and finish the class with a general discussion period. The case can also be presented as an interrupted case in which students complete one section of the case and then move on to the next section. Teaching the Case through further research and student mapping exercise: Another approach described below in which students read the case and then work in groups with maps to research areas of the Arctic where a warming climate is having the most visible effects. Students could also work in groups that include information about changes in weather patterns due to the increase in greenhouse gases and how it affects a climate change. Students could research the human activities, which produce greenhouse gases; where levels are in the greatest concentration and how they affect Arctic environments through wind currents and sea currents. Students could create a map of where the gases are coming from, tracing the wind flows and oceanic currents that would be affected. What industries are emitting the highest volume of greenhouse gases? Analyze information about climate change and make plans to create change in the lives of their families and themselves Such changes could be, for example, driving less and maybe using bicycles or scooters to get around; changing light bulbs to all neon light bulbs; unplugging computers, cell phone chargers, shutting lights off when leaving the room. .The students can think of other environmental good habits. Indigenous Knowledge activity One group could interview elders from their area and ask questions concerning Indigenous knowledge in their own area and how they predict the weather, how they find directions by looking at nature, how they know when to plant their crops. Students could present their findings in a power point or a research paper. Invite native scientists to the class to speak about their work and how they blend native science with western science. Wildlife activity Research the route that polar bears migrate to the Churchill Area and create a map of their migration from the sea ice. Research other populations of polar bears and present information on their well-being. Make inferences about which birds will continue to migrate to the Churchill area and why. In Canada, polar bears are listed as a species of Special Concern under the Species at Risk Act. In the U.S. the polar bear has been listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. What do these listings mean for the future of the Canadian and U.S. polar bear populations? How do you think the polar bear can be saved if their habitat is too warm for them to survive in the Arctic? Ethics activity: The United Nations Set up a global arena to discuss how the people of earth can come together to save Arctic environments. Students will take the roles of: Heads of government, environment ministers, fossil fuel industry representatives, environmental non-governmental organizations (ngos) representatives, etc. Assign these roles to the students. Have students research their points of view and present them in a forum. Make a decision about the future. Is it economics versus environment? Who loses? Who wins? Who owns the earth? Who is responsible for the well being of the Arctic environments? How do people and industries in the non-Arctic areas of the world contribute to the climate change issue? Green Tourism: This activity will require students to research the areas/group in which they are assigned Divide the class into groups: 1) Churchill townspeople who own businesses and hotels, taxi owners and bus owners. Research how small business owners can contribute to the halt of climate change. Also include the expense that this would cost. 2) Tundra tourist companies and buggy drivers whose vehicles use gasoline to take tourists out to the places where bears frequent. The gas used contributes greenhouse gases. Research the use of alternative fuels and how CO2 emissions affect climate change. 3) Inuit People who have extensive knowledge of the polar bear migrations and their lifecycle. 4) Scientists who research the lifecycle and migrations of polar bears in Hudson Bay. (See additional references list.) 5) Wapusk Dog sled company: This Company is pretty earth friendly. But they do use gasoline engines for their tour busses as well as heat their cabins with wood. Research how hydrocarbons from wood burning stoves contribute to climate change. After gathering information, come together in a town meeting to adopt policies for the town for Green Tourism.
