    Maine looks north, hoping to become a gateway to the Arctic


    For government and indigenous officials from around the world,
    the Arctic Council meeting here in October was a week-long
    opportunity to discuss shared Arctic issues like sustainable
    development and protecting ecosystems.

    For the people of Maine, it was a week-long opportunity to
    reconnect with their rich Arctic history, and to imagine a future
    where Maine is not a remote and limited corner of a powerful
    country, but a gateway to, and steward of, the rapidly changing
    and increasingly active Arctic region.

    The increased activity is, of course, in large part a result of
    climate change.

    Two very fine examples of oxy moronishness.

    I'm saving empty milk jugs at our house. My plan is to fill them with water, freeze them, and then ship them addressed to Santa Clause at the North Pole.

    Yeah, I know, it's awful good of me; but I think we all can do our part.

    And after all, we all know global warming is as real as Santa.

    I'm going out to buy more milk right now--can't have too many jugs for freezing, you know.

    Also, now might be a good time to invest in sun tan lotion. I hear the Eskimos burn easily.

    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    The horror! What will our furry friends do?

    They will cease to exist......

    With all that dramatic melt going on, shouldn't the residents of NYC be doing the backstroke by now?

    WWAD?

    Jan 1st - 2016's sea ice extent was the lowest in the satellite record.
    We'll see if 2017 starts off lower than the previous year.
