Nancy Lord- "The North" as Teacher?

Lord quotes Lara Hansen, an ecologist, who said: "The north is a very useful place from which to learn" (7-8).  What does the north, specifically, have to teach that other places don't?  What are we learning from the north?  Is "the north" a useful "geographical imaginary" for understanding and responding to climate change? Respond to your own take on this notion of the 'north' as a teacher, as developed in Lord's book.
