Climate Change on Hawaii

 
  
 
 
 
 

 
 

Plea from Director Kahuna

of the Pacific Islanders

Council on Climate Change

 

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
