Disappearing Villages in Ghana

If only we had evidence of the impact of global warming driven climate change.  I mean more evidence than massive droughts, melting glaciers, disappearing sea ice, sinking island nations.  Well, these photos won’t convince the deniers, but the impact of climate change on real humans is heartbreaking.

The fishing village of Totope is disappearing as the rising sea and worsening coastal erosion bury buildings in sand. The villagers say they were once three miles from the sea. Here women sweep sand towards the sea in a forlorn attempt to prevent their homes from being buried completely.
