The next time someone waxes on about the gobs and gobs of Arctic oil in need of a good drilling, show them this. There may be oil and gas out there, and if there is no one really knows how much.

Technology, and in this case global warming, may be a wonderful thing, but it does have its limitations as Gaia likes to remind us.
