Climate Story Series: Preserving Antarctica

Antarctica holds a key role in addressing climate change. I traveled there in 2017 on an expedition led by Robert Swan, polar explorer, and his nonprofit, 2041 Foundation.

Unfortunately, the increased flash flooding and sea level rise won’t be much help.
What are you daydreaming about? 🐕 State #45 showing off. Like much of the Midwest, Iowa is known for its agriculture. When reading about the impacts climate change will have on the state, that too sounded similar to elsewhere in the Midwest. And of course it did—climate change doesn’t care about arbitrary state or country boundary lines. It’s a transnational and transsovereign problem. While states know their needs more acutely than the federal government could presume to, it’s critical we have federal leadership on this issue because it can’t be haphazardly managed by only a handful of states.
