Many Alaskans have long been exasperated or downright hostile over the mythologizing of Chris McCandless, the hapless college graduate who starved to death in a derelict bus a day&#8217;s walk up a mining access road on the north side of Denali National Park. Here is an essay by Alaska writer Craig Medred, [...]]]></description>

Thank God for the New Yorker, at least this week.

Syun-Ichi Akasofu

Many scientists have got the relationship between rising greenhouse gases and warming temperatures flat wrong, says Alaska&#8217;s Syun-Ichi Akasofu in an Wall Street Journal essay. 
And is there legitimate consensus that human-generated emissions are the cause of the current bout of climate change? 
Definitely not, Akasofu says.


Must act now, other Alaskans say

But is it due to climate warming?

Five top scientists have been traveling around Alaska with five evangelical Christian leaders this week, inspecting signs of climate change and talking to Alaskans who live on the front lines of Arctic warming.

The New York Times has published another story on the impact of climate change on people in the Far North, this time calling attention to the slow-moving environmental catastrophe undercutting houses and boardwalks within the Yup&#8217;ik village of Newtok. 
Unfortunately, once again, the NYTs has misstated some climate [...]]]></description>

Captive Beluga looks around
Robyn Angliss / NMML

Say your mother weakens. Her heart beats erratically, her breathing grows shallow. She starts to collapse. So you rush her to the hospital, hoping for tests, oxygen and saline drips, maybe even life support.
But the doctor refuses to admit her. 
&#8220;We can&#8217;t treat your mother because we don&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

Here we go again. The rhetoric and disinformation surrounding climate change science continues to grow ever more shrill. 
In any given week, one might read that Al Gore&#8217;s Inconvenient Truth is &#8220;science fiction.&#8221; That the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change practices &#8220;junk science.&#8221; That the Earth was colder (warmer) in [...]]]></description>

Al Gore&#8217;s climate film &#8220;An Inconvenient Truth&#8221; is &#8220;science fiction.&#8221; 
Polar bears can live on land and eat grass. 
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has gone way past the data about the role of greenhouse gases while ignoring natural factors. 
And some scientists, perhaps the &#8220;silent&#8221; majority, need to be careful. Or they [...]]]></description>

Have you been hearing commentators and politicians declare that most scientists still don&#8217;t agree on global warming? (Completely untrue.)
Or that a little thicker blanket of carbon dioxide blanket will simply tickle the corn higher and trees greener? (As if.) Or that these reports calling global warming &#8220;unequivocal&#8221; are based on &#8220;junk science&#8221;? [...]]]></description>
