Many studies document melting polar ice caps, thinning permafrost and rising sea and air temperatures in the Arctic, which threaten the livelihood of people native to the region. Like so many helpless Gulf Coast residents, these people will suffer because of a profound denial of responsibility. Climate change is a global problem that needs a global solution. David G.
