From crisis to resilience in the Arctic

We have all the pieces we need to address the effects of global warming in the Arctic, but random acts of adaptation will not be enough.

When Rick Thoman and Brian Brettschneider get alarmed, I freak out. Rick and Brian are climate experts in Alaska, and they know of what they speak. I follow them religiously on Twitter because their reports on temperature anomalies and weather aberrations in the Arctic say more about the pace of global warming than any other source, and they use great graphs and maps. I’ve never met them in person, but I can tell that they’re getting concerned, and they should be.
