Opinion - Storms trigger a humanitarian disaster in western Alaska

In western Alaska, back-to-back fall storms have triggered a humanitarian disaster and the largest air evacuation in state history, writes Tim Lyndon. Across 50 communities, 2,000 mostly Alaska Native people lost their homes and boats, with at least one entire village torn apart. Unfortunately, says Lyndon, climate change is part of their story—one we in the Lower 48 states know little about.
