Hi Patrick Starfish.

You're supposed to say "Then everybody died. The end."

A policeman yelled "Shots fired!"

"BANG!", said a man, and he then yelled "DAMN NINJAS, GET OFF MAH LAWN!"...

A WET DREAM!!

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN

THEN HE WOKE UP, IN ANOTHER DREAM

A few weeks ago a remarkably detailed and intimate account of walrus research came to my attention, but I didn’t get to it right away and had suspected (as often happens) that it was getting too stale for a fresh post. It’s at Discover Magazine, where editor Eliza Strickland pieced together tidbits and interview items so vividly I felt as though I had laid myself out on the rock and mud Alaskan beach to watch walruses haul out with their big calves – an unusual sight until shrinking summer sea ice gave them little alternative except the beach.

She tells ksjtracker she did the piece in her “few spare moments,” which rules out any visit to the site herself. But this just shows that a good writer can stitch a scene together from the memories of those who were there. The story has considerable scope. It includes a far-sighted visit to the uncertainties of how walruses will cope with the oceans’ falling pH (acidification).

I’m posting on it now because along came a story of much bigger scope that also mentions walruses. What would happen, for instance, if their migratory paths along the Alaskan and Siberian coasts were interrupted by a gigantic dam? That’s just one question raised at the on line Alaska Dispatch. Its reporter Jill Burke takes with some seriousness a Dutch science writer’s brainstorm for how to keep the Arctic cold and fairly icy and passes it around among various authorities for comment. The idea involves geo-engineering of the serious old fashioned mega-project sort, but makes even Hoover dam look like a toy. The notion, backed as far as I can tell by scant serious science, is that if circulation through the Bering sea is stopped and the Pacific separated, the Arctic ought to get colder and thus keep its familiar nature longer as the globe warms. It is a bit of a puzzle, other than that this project would hit Alaska hard for good or ill, why the Dispatch gives it such space. Burke finds so many sources that think it’s a bad idea that it’s hard to believe she herself is an enthusiast. Plus, as chance of it working seems slim, and as it would surely shut off the only clear benefit of an ice free summer Arctic (Northwest Passage, or Northern Route along Siberia’s coast for shipping), it’s just an awful long stretch.

Maybe the idea simply has such breathtaking gumption it is hard to resist as a story.

BY A COW!

And her hips began to move on they're own!
