I help review the top climate stories of the past year on The Weather Channel's show "The Climate Code".
Andy Revkin @ Yale's Environment School
Author and New York Times reporter Andy Revkin speaks to New Haven school children about his book "The North Pole Was Here."
NORTH POLE ICE CRACKING (global warming, Arctic climate change, global warming)
The sea ice at the North Pole is only a few feet thick. It floats on an ocean that is 14,000 feet deep. And it's cracking under the feet of global warming scientists. An expert suggests what to do... Everything you hear -- all the chugging and huffing and banging -- is the ice beneath us.
Read about it in my new book THE NORTH POLE WAS HERE. First Chapter free online at www.nytimes.com/learning/globalwarming

About me: I'm a reporter for THE NEW YORK TIMES, covering global environmental issues and, once in a sad while, calamities (9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tsunami). I'm also an author of books on the AMAZON, GLOBAL WARMING, and the NORTH POLE. In spare moments, I'm a performing songwriter and part of a fun retro-rootsy band called UNCLE WADE (www.myspace.com/unclewade).
I live in New York's Hudson River Valley with my wife (a middle-school science teacher) and two sons (8 and 16). My passions are music, family, and the truth.
I write about music once in awhile. One story, on a tribute-band singer who replaced the lead singer of Judas Priest in 1997, was the basis for the movie ROCK STAR, starring Mark Wahlberg & Jennifer Aniston.
