Cold Rush? The Changing Arctic
The Arctic is warming faster than any other place on Earth. This affects weather and increases coastal erosion threatening many Alaskan communities. But with melting sea ice comes new opportunities for shipping and development. Will the oil, gas, and mineral rich Arctic lead to a rush for development? Might this lead to conflict and to serious consequences for the environment? "Earth Focus" looks at the changing face of the Arctic today.
