The Arctic is the Key to Our Future
Description
Atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe recalls research with a fellow scientist that revealed the Arctic holds the most potential for dangerous climate feedback - but not for the ice. Rather, the exposure to enormous fossil fuel resources that will come with a loss of sea ice, and would lead to utter failure of the Paris Agareement.
