Walt Meier from the National Snow & Ice Data Center discusses the global consequences of less Arctic ice.

Walt Meier, a senior research scientist at the National Sea & Ice Data Center, provides an in-depth report on the dramatic decline of sea ice growth. Meier explains that these changes are a fundamental, decades-long response to warming temperatures. The continued loss of Arctic sea ice will include further Arctic warming, erosion of Arctic coastlines, and a disturbance of global weather patterns.
