   But Holdren is a scientist so he must be right and the camera is obviously lying.

   What you’re seeing is ice free waters. The economy in America is recovering. Debt is the way to prosperity. Everything is going according to plan. Washington has everything in control.

   Nice picture! That’s exactly what it looks like every time I’ve been there in March for field work. It’s hard work making roads through the ice to get to our field sites…

       Demolition derbys on ice are safer than on dirt. Though I can’t say any demolition derby is safe. Car races on ice are fun. I’ve driven on ice race tracks out on the lake at night when no one’s around. It’s a kick to have the car suddenly go into a spin.

   Great title to this post, and great picture. I love it. Actually, this picture reminds me of home. I live in Minnesota, close to 4000 miles south east of Barrow, and this photo
   is a reasonable representation of where I live RIGHT NOW! And we’ve got another foot of the white stuff and -10F temperatures forecast for next week! Holdren, COME VISIT MINNESOTA! Oh, that’s right. I forgot. Global warming CAUSES snow and cold. Darn. Excuse me……

   But there are more holes in the ice than usual!

   Why would anyone live there? What do you do for a living in a frozen wasteland….other than try to keep from freezing to death? Guess you could be an ice road trucker…. maybe a driller? Death spiral note taker? Polar Bear interviewer?
