“We are seeing what scientists have predicted for years. The temperatures in the Arctic are off the chart. This matters for the rest of us because this is the time of year when the Arctic ice should be growing. But it isn’t growing like it should. So, this summer, there will be less ice and more open waters that will lead to more warming … What is particularly frightening is that this is happening in a La Nina year, when if anything, the Earth should be a little bit cooler than normal … If this isn’t a clarion call to take action, I don’t know what is.”
