Below an web-copy of the AMEG flyer distributed at the conference:

           

EVERYTHING depends on you helping the Arctic

* the Arctic is warming ever faster ⁽¹⁾

* the sea ice volume is plummeting ⁽²⁾

* which prefaces a collapse in sea ice extent ⁽³⁾

* Arctic warming already disrupting climate,
  causing unpredictable weather for farmers ⁽⁴⁾

* already escalating emissions of methane ⁽⁵⁾
  from vast store in Arctic seabed ⁽⁶⁾

* and, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas ⁽⁷⁾
  risks runaway global warming. ⁽⁸⁾

  Demand action to pull back from the brink

Demand that governments assess the threat
from Arctic methane release, and
Demand swift action to COOL THE ARCTIC.
