Arctic

Scientists looking to communicate the truth about climate should explore the power of narrative and images.

This month’s new books look at America’s disappearing bees, how religion can fight climate change, a pioneering woman scientist and a lot more.

We mapped out where the drilling could take place — and how it overlaps with the critical habitats of the most sensitive species at risk.

Drilling in the refuge was tucked into in last month’s Republican tax bill, defying decades of attempts to protect this pristine wildnerness.

Drawing clear borders around the Arctic Ocean matters for the future of the people who live there — and for the planet as a whole.

For small island nations threatened by rising seas, swelling waters are a daily reminder of the need to act on climate.

Rowing through the melting Northwest Passage means meeting the local people affected by climate change.

Drilling would also harm the cultural and religious core of the Gwich’in people.

An expedition to study how climate change is affecting Arctic ecosystems has been cancelled — because of climate change. According to the University of Manitoba, warm weather has thinned the ice around the Strait of Belle Isle, where the expedition was to take place. This actually makes traveling in the region — even on an icebreaker — more dangerous because the ice is now more mobile and unpredictable. The university says this revelation “clearly illustrates that Canada is ill-prepared to deal with the realities of climate change.” 

Texas Billionaire Jeffery Hildebrand’s operations have left a long trail of environmental and safety violations, with few repercussions.
