His talk will focus on the horrific affects of climate change on the Arctic. Kister  went on a a 700-mile bakpacking trek through the refuge and bore witness to crumbling native villages and dwindling numbers of polar bears, walruses and seals. The speed at which change from warming is taking place is alarming, he says.

"The main thing is we need to be moving much, much faster to better energy efficiency, solar and wind energy and other alternative energy, Kister said.

The program is free and open to the public. Here's the details:
