Climate Cast: Winter arctic sea ice nears all-time low
In this hour-long edition of Climate Cast, MPR News' Kerri Miller and Meteorologist Paul Huttner take a close look at the ice on the Earth's poles.
New data shows Arctic sea ice levels are at record lows for the month of March and scientists are understanding more about how a warming Arctic causes summer heat waves elsewhere on the planet.
We also go along with a glaciologist as she studies a boulder field in Uganda for clues to the way the world warmed and cooled in the ancient past.
How a remote Alaskan village faces climate change
We talked to Edward Itta, the former mayor of Barrow, Alaska and and an Inupiat Tribal leader, who is seeing firsthand climate change.
How have the patterns changed in your lifetime?
Is it a reality that some native peoples are relocating entire villages along the arctic coast?
What message do you have from the arctic people to the rest of us in the lower 48 states?
