Explore the haunting realities of climate change in the Arctic through a thought-provoking lecture by Roy Scranton titled "Arctic Ghosts: Ecocruising the Death Spiral." Delve into the complex interplay between environmental degradation, tourism, and the looming ecological crisis in one of Earth's most vulnerable regions. Gain insights from Scranton's perspective as he examines the paradoxical nature of Arctic tourism and its impact on the rapidly changing landscape. Engage with critical discussions on the ethical implications of "ecocruising" and its role in witnessing the effects of global warming firsthand. This 90-minute presentation, part of the Environment Forum at the Mahindra Center, offers a unique opportunity to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature and the urgent need for environmental awareness and action.
