Scientists Report from the Arctic
The Arctic serves as the worlds refrigerator, keeping the planet cool. But temperatures in the Arctic are rising nearly four times faster than the rest of the world and its sea ice is near a historic low.
We put out a call to scientists aboard research vessels currently sailing in the Arctic Ocean, and we got an answer. Hear our ship-to-shore conversation with him about how warmer temperatures affect life on land and sea.
Plus, a biologist who recently returned from the field describes how he inadvertently stumbled upon surprising data during his decades-long study of polar bears.
