The real Arctic Circle is seeing the effects of climate change more than most places on Earth. If I was in Toronto, I’d go and see this film to see how the Inuit are adapting to deal with climate change.

If I could start over again, I wouldn’t have penguins migrate to the Arctic in my strip – it is something I have to explain a lot – penguins should not be hanging out with polar bears (or speaking, for that mattter…).

I’ll have to find out how his penguin and polar bear got to be together! Erik?

I doubt Hector’s is a good place for coffee, but I imagine free wi-fi is scarce in the Arctic.

Great article in the Guardian about how Met Office data shows the dramatic warming in the Arctic and worldwide.

Climate change scientists have started a fightback against sceptics who argue that the observed changes in the Earth’s climate can largely be explained by natural variability. This comes after the email hacking furore.

A major Met Office review of more than 100 scientific studies tracking the observed changes in the Earth’s climate system finds that it is an “increasingly remote possibility” that human activity is not the main cause of climate change.
