Video: President Barack Obama to Visit Arctic, Highlight Climate Change – Indian Country Today

“You see, climate change once seemed like a problem for future generations,” he continues. “But for most Americans, it’s already a reality: deeper droughts, longer wildfire seasons; some of our cities even flood at high tide.”
In Alaska the effects are quite graphic.
