Northern Leaders Discuss Arctic Melt

With Arctic ice melting faster than ever, former Vice President Al Gore was in Tromso, Norway this week as the US and seven other countries are meeting to hash out their differences over territory and natural resources. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg says the US wants what he calls “win-win approaches that benefit everybody” as the melting creates new problems and new opportunities.
