The thing about an ice-free Arctic is that it makes drilling for offshore oil deposits in places like the Alaskan North Shore Siberia a hell of a lot easier, safer and most of all cheaper, especially since you can ship the oil via tanker instead of by long and dangerous pipelines. Just what Dr. Petro ordered!

No wonder the oil companies and their tame legislators try to trash climate science at every opportunity.

Assuming the climate science is real, what is the Democrat's proposed legislative solution?

It's real. Sadly, the Democrats are no more committed to finding a solution than are the Republicans.

Ditto. I'm hopeful that with this nasty f**king election behind us that a much more progressive Obama comes out of the shadows and pushes back. Time will tell, I am cautiously optimistic.
