Guest: Lex Harvey, staff reporter
The Arctic town Svalbard is about as remote as you can get. It's an archipelago located on top of the world. Residents carry guns and live alongside polar bears, they can see the northern lights during the day and they're not allowed to give birth or die there. It is also the fastest warming place on Earth and experiencing the worst effects of climate change where residents live under constant fear of the next disaster. Svalbard serves as a stark warning to the rest of the world. Star reporter Lex Harvey takes "This Matters" listeners on a tour and a wake-up call.
