Alaskan village votes to move due to climate change, but who’s paying the $180 million bill?
The remote Alaskan village of #Shishmaref, perched on a narrow island 600 miles north of Anchorage, voted Wednesday on a proposal to relocate the entire community to a new but currently undecided location. An unofficial count by the city clerk found 89 votes to leave and 78 against but the vote itself is largely symbolic because there’s no funding to cover the estimated $180 million cost of the move.
