The film "Arctic Emergency: Scientists Speak On Melting Ice and Global Impacts" by Max Wilbert features climate scientists discussing the critical state of the Arctic in their own words.

Rising Arctic temperatures are causing sea ice to melt and permafrost to thaw, destabilizing a system vital to global climate, often called "Earth's Air Conditioner." This directly contributes to global warming, impacting weather patterns, natural systems, and human life worldwide, with the Arctic at the center of these profound changes.

Published on August 1, 2014, the film includes insights from leading experts such as Jennifer Francis (Rutgers University), Ron Prinn (MIT), Natalia Shakhova (University of Alaska-Fairbanks), Kevin Schaefer (National Snow and Ice Data Center), and others from prominent research institutions.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for climate change assessment. Established in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), its mission is to provide a clear scientific view on climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. The UN General Assembly endorsed its formation.

The IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability," was published on March 31, 2014.

Strong climate policy, similar to the Energy Innovation Act, offers substantial economic benefits to rural American communities. It would dramatically expand wind and solar energy, creating jobs and bringing revenue to areas in need. Notably, over 80% of these financial benefits are projected to flow to Republican-held districts. Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) has developed district-specific research and summary handouts detailing these direct annual revenues.

Join CCL Research Coordinator Jerry Hinkle for a training on this analysis, which synthesizes reports from RMI and UPenn, demonstrating significant rural economic development opportunities from renewable energy.
