The fact is, the planet is getting warmer, and with the temperature increase comes an array of issues.

Assistant research professor Christina Schädel sat down with NAU-TV's Mitch Strohman to discuss one of them: the impact of Arctic warming on permafrost, and what that means for the changing planet.
