COP-26 Video of the Week: Extreme Weather, Sea Ice and Arctic Warming with Walt Meier and Robbie Mallet

This event explored the evidence for a connection between Arctic sea ice loss and extreme weather patterns at lower latitudes, featuring Dr. Walt Meier, Senior Research Scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, University of Colorado; and Robbie Mallet, PhD Candidate at University College London.
