The argument

About this talk

Published by Operaatio Arktis from ATLAS25. Anni Pokela sets out why Arctic warming matters far beyond the Arctic, and what changing our climate reality would take.

She argues for honest communication of risk and for a broader, better-examined set of responses than the debate currently allows.
