This is one of the funniest analyses ever posted online; if the ice is melting because of "global warming" then there's no need for icebreakers Very Happy

In Arctic 'cold war,' Russia plows ahead
By Queenie Wong | McClatchy Newspapers


The differences give Russia a vastly expanded range through Arctic ice, which covers an area as big as California and Texas combined. And that ice locks up nearly a quarter of the world's undiscovered oil and natural gas, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.



I find myself wondering how they discovered all this undiscovered oil and natural gas. Was it done by exploration crews that have never been there? Oh well, I also wonder how someone decided how much oil is undiscovered in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.
