Almost daily we hear something new about the affects of climate change. One of the more interesting things from a scientific perspective is that global warming is not uniform. Europe is warming faster than the US. Canada is warming twice as fast as other parts of the globe. And the Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the planet.
Global warming is producing some widespread affects many of which we are just starting to understand. The affects in the Arctic have been particularly concerning. Despite that, many people still treat this fact as an opportunity to exploit new resources.
But why the sudden interest in what was formerly considered a no mans land? How will these changes affect our planet? And how could it affect all of us?
Stay tuned for E142, The Race for Arctic resources.
Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
