snow in a week. but still not enough to cure the drought happening in the colorado river. >> incredible that there is still so much inaction at blah, blah, blahs as greta puts it. the data shows alaska is warming faster than any other state in the u.s. clearly, no longer a problem just in the future. what's it going to take for governments, for the public, for society to act now to stop this before it gets, you know, inhabitable -- uninhabitable? >> reporter: you know, that is the big question, jake. what is it going to take? there is this new allegory out called "don't look up" in which a meteor is smashing toward earth. everybody knows it. there is a moment in the film where you can actually see it in the sky. but it doesn't change of minds of those who decided to look down. and we're seeing that played out with the pandemic as it were right now. so it's troubling. even in alaska look at the politics. that is a petrol state.
