from the window of a super cub

The Alaska Climate Impact Assessment Commission started its public hearing in Kotzebue this morning with invited testimony from the city mayor and an area wildlife biologist. The mayor talked about how changes in ice conditions were making traditional hunting skills irrelevant. The biologist talked about odd stuff happening with the local caribou herd, lakes draining, and tundra sliding downhill in big chunks. Itll be years before the changes show up in scientific studies, he said. For now, its just what hes seeing from the window of his Super Cub.
