Welcome fellow scientist! We are in great need
of your expertise and services. Our scientific director - Dr. Humuhumunukunuku
Apua'a or "Dr. Humu" as we call him - has gone missing. He was
charged with investigating the potential future impacts of climate
change on Pacific Islands and more specifically Hawaii and was
collaborating with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC). Seems that he went out on one of his unannounced
surfing adventures and hasn't been seen for days. He is always
doing these things...
Anyway, one of our remote climate station
attendants found his surf board on the beach with a huge bite mark!!!
We fear the worst and have sent out a search crew, but Dr. Humu
has pressing research that must be finished.
You have been selected
to investigate the future impact of climate on Pacific Island
environments and resources. This mission is critical given that
millions of Pacific Islanders depend on your investigation and
assessment of our collective futures. Do Pacific Islanders need
to begin enacting drastic measures immediately to mitigate potential
future climate change impacts to their islands...?
Your investigation will help answer these questions.
There are two letters (links on the right)
we found digging around Dr. Humuhumunukunuku Apua'a's Hawaii
lab that you need to read before embarking on your investigation.
I hope these will give you some idea about the potential scope
of the problem. Unfortunately, Dr. Humu's lab is such a mess we
weren't able to find much else, so you will have to formulate your
own conclusions about global climate change and the potential impact
to us Pacific Islanders.
Good luck!
Mr. Kahuna - Director of the Pacific Islander
Council on Climate Change
