Do you want to see the effects of global warming? Then head north．Will Steger is going to take all of us there．
Steger,64, the first person to make a dogsled trip to the Noah Pole，is a very famous and admired polar explorer．He's at home in frozen parts of the world where few humans ever step on．Steger is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming．He saw its effects firsthand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica．
Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1,400-mile，60-day-long dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian Arctic．The sea ice in that region should still be frozen．“We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming,”says Steger． The team will be uploading videos，stories and photos to the website global-warming 101．com as they march along，allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day．“We can actually bring the audience up there，”Steger says．
Stege's team will include some already-famous young explorers．Sam Branson, the22-year-old son of British airline tycoon(大亨)Richard Branson，is an experienced Arctic traveler．Also on the journey will be 27-year-old Norwegian Sigrid Ekran．Last year，Ekran became only the second woman in history to win Rookie(新秀)of the Year for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race．
What they will see may be surprising．Even Steger doesn't know exactly what to expect．Climate change has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic．“Within a decade or less, it's going to be impossible to reach the North Pole by dog team，without flotation(漂浮)，”says Steger．
Climate change is happening，but people can change too．Their willingness to change will determine the shape of Earth's future．

Is there a magic cutoff period whenoffspring become accountable for their own actions? Is there a wonderful momentwhen parents can become spectators (旁观者) in the lives of their children and shrug, "It' s theirlife," and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in ahospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son' s head.I was asked, "When do you stop worrying?" A nurse said, "Whenthey get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly andsaid nothing.
When I was in my thirties, I sat on alittle chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talkedincessantly, disrupted (打断) the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. Asif to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry. They all go through thisstage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them." My motherlistened and said nothing.
When I was in my forties, I spent alifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home, the frontdoor to open.
My friends said that when my kids gotmarried I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that,but I was haunted by my mother' s wan ( 淡淡的 ) smile and her occasional words, "You look pale. Are you allright? Call me the minute you get home."
Can it be that parents are sentenced to alifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blazethe trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse?Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?
One of my children became quite irritablerecently, saying to me, "Where were you? I' ve been calling for threedays, and no one answered. I was worried! ! !"
I smiled a wan smile.
