The Arctic is undergoing dramatic, irreversible changes traceable to global warming. As these changes alter the pace of climate change, they forewarn of the challenges ahead for human, animal and plant habitat—in Maine and elsewhere. We’ll discuss how this transformation is creating a new arena for global power and competition. Guests: Frances Ulmer, former chair, U.S. Arctic Research Commission; Paul A. Mayewski, Climate Change Institute, University of Maine; Charles H. Norchi, Maine School of Law,, Center for Oceans and Coastal Law; Holly Parker, UNE NORTH: The Institute for North Atlantic Studies.
