The Russians are drilling down to the surface of the largest lake and there is considerable concern that surfact bacteria and drill lubricant will contaminate it when they break through. I'm glad that global warming and all levels of concern for our earth, our home, are finally becoming big news and big concerns. I hope that the heightened awareness results in our taking better care of our mother.

I applaud the concern for the delicate ecosystem and for preserving the Inuit people's way of life at the edge of this meltdown. I don't think we should view this as just another way for business to profit from a faster shipping route, or exploitation of new exposed oil fields, when the world as we know it is vanishing, to a large part because of oil and profit. I'm sick of profit-grabbing and money-centered motivations that don't take future generations into account. Georganna, thanks.
