A less icy Arctic is coming, and generally speaking, that's not a good thing. Climate change is warming this region twice as fast as the global average, threatening wildlife and indigenous communities.
Interpretation
The Arctic is warming rapidly due to climate change, which poses risks to both wildlife and indigenous peoples.
Tatiana Schlossberg emphasizes the alarming rate at which the Arctic is experiencing climate change, highlighting that it is warming at twice the speed of the global average. This warming not only disrupts the fragile ecosystems that wildlife depend on but also threatens the livelihoods and cultures of indigenous communities that have lived in harmony with this environment for generations.
In practice
During a climate summit, this quote could serve to underscore the urgency of addressing global warming.

Peering from some high window; at the gold of November sunset _x000D_ (and feeling that if day has to become night this is a beautiful way).
There was a deep silence, only scraped on its surfaces by the faint quiver of empty seed-plumes, and broken grass-blades trembling in small air-movements they could not feel. 'Not a bird!' said Sam mournfully. 'No, no birds,' said Gollum. 'Nice birds!' He licked his teeth. 'No birds here. There are snakeses, wormses, things in the pools. Lots of things, lots of nasty things. No birds,' he ended sadly. Sam looked at him with distaste.
