🌎 The Arctic is heating up—and it’s changing the way we experience weather across the globe.
In our latest episode of The Three Degrees Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jennifer Francis from the Woodwell Climate Research Center to unpack the profound ways that a warming Arctic is influencing everything from hurricanes to food security.
🎙️ What We Cover in This Episode:
✅ Why the Arctic is warming 3–4 times faster than the rest of the planet
✅ How changes in the jet stream are fueling more extreme weather events
✅ The disappearing sea ice and what it means for coastal erosion, storms, and global ocean currents
✅ Why permafrost thaw is a looming carbon bomb
✅ The real-world impacts on indigenous communities, fisheries, and agriculture
💡 Dr. Francis also shares what gives her hope—including how young people are stepping up with solutions across fields like science, policy, and even the arts.
