Some studies suggest that the Arctic Ocean may be ice-free by the end of the century.

They mapped the Arctic Ocean with this thing.

If we drill the hell out of everything, including protected public lands and fragile regions like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, America can emerge as an 'energy superpower.'

Drill everything, mine everything, roll back regulations, tweak the science, expedite permits. Sound familiar? The Republicans offer up more 19th-Century solutions to our 21st-Century energy problems.

In reality, studies show that investments to spur renewable energy and boost energy efficiency generate far more jobs than oil and coal.

The data gathered on this and other SCICEX missions are uncovering important clues about the circulation of the Arctic Ocean currents and their potential effects in altering the composition of the Arctic ice pack. These clues may help us to better understand the cause and effects of global climate change.
