In the world’s northernmost town, temperatures have risen by 4C, devastating homes, wildlife and even the cemetery. Will the rest of the planet heed its warning?

"Nowhere on the planet is heating faster. This was the message of a
report commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency, unveiled in
February to a stunned audience in Longyearbyen, the archipelago’s de
facto capital. People knew things were bad, but it was only when they
heard the forecast that they realised how bad."
