As you may have noticed, The Climate Reality Project blog has been full of content related to our Living on Thin Ice campaign. We are very proud of this campaign and the expeditions we have held around the world in places like the Sierra Nevada, Antarctica, Ecuador and New York. But meanwhile, our stellar Presenters are very busy bringing the reality of the climate crisis to communities all over the world.

What some communities are facing is almost incomprehensible. Because most of us live in large cities, we have easy access to groceries, supplies and services. Have you ever lived in a remote area where global warming impacted your access? Or, like many of us, can you scarcely imagine what life would mean if you found yourself stranded by climate change?
