“Biological Annihilation”: The Danger of Opening Alaska’s ANWR to Oil & Gas Drilling.
July 26, 2019 Update: politico.com published "How Science Got Trampled in the Rush to Drill in the Arctic" by Adam Federman with photographs by Nathaniel Wilder and video by Peter Elstner. The article notes, "Documents leaked to POLITICO Magazine and Type Investigations reveal that the work of career scientists has at times been altered or disregarded to underplay the potential impact of oil and gas development on the coastal plain. Moreover, DOI has decided it will undertake no new studies as part of the current review process, despite scientists’ concerns that key data is years out of date or doesn’t exist."
"Many junkies, before hitting bottom, stoop low enough to steal their mothers’ jewels. That’s what’s happening at a national scale on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska" (ANWR) begins this New York Times article by William deBuys on oil and gas leasing there opposed by republicans according to insideclimatenews.org "including EPA administrators under presidents Nixon, Reagan and George H. W. Bush," and I recall democrats, and Gwich'in people many years. I will be forever grateful if my republican friends call their senators and representatives today, and tell them they want ANWR protected for their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, and great great great grandchildren. You get the idea.
Suz and I are halibut fishing in Alaska, and meeting great people.

No matter what else happens in my life, I can say I stood in Kake, Alaska.
