More than 100 homes in Alaska’s capital Juneau – a popular cruise call – were damaged last month after a glacial dam burst north of the city. But while there is flooding to some extent every year, locals say the past two breaches have been unprecedented.
Climate change is a factor and has, of course, been blamed, and the cruise industry’s contribution to increases in the kind of emissions responsible cannot be ignored. So are there tensions between Juneau locals and the lines that visit? Not so, it seems.
