When open water kept Will Steger’s http://www.willsteger.com/ dogsled from crossing the Arctic ice shelf, he switched to canoes.

When controversy over the science of global warming keeps him from reaching an audience, he switches to jobs and national security.

"I never thought 10 years ago I’d be talking about jobs to save the environment," the polar explorer told an audience of University of Montana students on Thursday. "But you’ve got to put yourself in others’ shoes. For a lot of people, talking about taxes and big policies won’t make it."

"Will we have to wait for the next generation to take power before anything happens?" asked UM environmental studies professor Robin Saha.

Steger replied that young people in general and residents of scenic wonderlands such as Montana are his best hope.
