Does it seem as though the weather gods have gone crazy lately? It is not your imagination. The question on everyone’s minds is why? And is it related to climate change? In this presentation

Abstract:

A great deal is known, and even more is posited, about the environmental effects of climate change in the northern latitudes. However, very little is known about the adverse effects of climate change on the health of residents of the circumpolar north. In this talk, I will describe
