"At the fringes, the transition is essentially occurring already," John Walsh, chief scientist at the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, said in a briefing at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union on Tuesday. Winter rains atop of snow create a glaze on roads and parking lots, melting a popular ice-skating and pond-hockey site in Anchorage, Alaska.It's not just that the Arctic is changing. In some places, we're losing it. That's a problem for the whole planet.
