A group of native Americans the Dene nation in Canada
and representatives of other indigenous peoples
have been lobbying national delegations to ask them
to recognise them as an 'expert group' which can participate
in the talks on climate change like other nongovernment
organisations. They claim to bring traditional knowledge to the debate
that other people don't have. Nearly forty years ago
tribal elders noticed changes in the annual migrations of animals
and the weather which they could then forecast three weeks in advance
from animal behaviour and sunsets
is now ..apparently..unpredictable
Nos...scientists have long warned that the Arctic conditions
herald climate change because the region is warming faster than the
than more temperate zones and the seas are ice-free for longer periods
so who best to comment than those living there.
