Environmentalist Jon Waterman visited Alaska and beyond for more than four decades to see first-hand the severe situation of the Arctic climate crisis. He recorded his findings and experiences in his book, Into The Thaw, stressing that there is still hope in saving our warming planet. Jon sits down with Corinna Bellizzi to discuss what must be done to save the Arctic, where global warming happens four times faster than anywhere else on Earth. He also reveals how the climate crisis in this northern region adversely affects not only the wildlife but also the Inuit people, who have called Alaska and the Arctic home for many centuries.
