#1 If this becomes a regular occurrence, the communities will be abandoned, just like Greenland was by the Vikings in the fifteenth century.

#4 #1 You might also look up the following article, TW.
Why did Greenland’s Viking colonies disappear? It may have been because the trade in walrus ivory collapsed

#8 I went through those three villages in July 1990 in my plane when I went from my home in NW Alaska to Resolute. Paulatuk is 60 mi east of the SMOKING HILLS near Cape Bathurst on the Arctic coast. The Smoking Hills are composed of sulfur rich lignite, which autoignites and leaves a pall of smoke covering the hills. Craziest thing to fly over. Nearby water bodies are pH 2, very acidic. Better call Environment Canada.

Kugluktuk used to be known as Coppermine on the mouth of the Coppermine River. It is east of Paulatuk.

Cambridge Bay is at the western edge of Coronation Gulf.

You have not started throwing down money until you start flying 50 to 60 Hercs. That's oil patch quantities. Global Warming me arse.
