Guardian: Maatalii Okalik is tired of seeing polar bears as the face of climate change. Make it an Inuit face. Were the ones that are really affected by it, she told the Guardian in a phone interview from Paris. At the Paris climate conference, the bear is a trope on banners and posters. Politicians and activists are taking note of the Arctics plight, invoking sprawling vistas and vulnerable wildlife as a cautionary tale. This summer, I saw the effects of climate change first-hand in our northernmost...
