I agree, but it has been very strange. 40 years I have been here and it is like nothing any of us has ever seen. Two months early is huge and not like a snow storm. The wind is warm again today and I am off to a bike ride soon. But I agree, lets closly watch the arctic ice melt this year. I think it will be astounding as it looks like the ice melt may already be starting. 2007 was astounding. Kids were swimming in the arcitc ocean. Walruses and new kinds of whales moved in. ON top of the warm weather, the gulf stream has been running into Greenland. So the arctic is getting unusual warmth from both the east and west. Here are some of the interesting things we are seeing with GW. Humbolt squid (5 feet long and weiging up to 100 lbs) and albacore are being caugth off the coast of Stika as well as other exotic fish ON the north slope as the shrubs and trees grow higher moose are moving down to the arctic coast and polar bears are feeding more on spawning salmon and char. Some polar bears are starting to mate with grizzlies. Killer whales moving into the arctic ocan. Salmon runs and Bearing sea fish are moving hundreds of miles noth. I expect we will soon see large runs of salmon running up arctic rivers and king and snow crab moving into the arctic ocean. And the bird populations are increasing in divsersity. As the ice cover melts phytoplankton will grow and feed zoo plankton which will feed many new species of fish. There were never many fish in the arcitc becase of lack of food, but that is abotu to change with all the sunlight available now and new currents moving in bringing food. The times they are a changing. I do find it interesting in a morbid way.
