US Ceding The Arctic To The Russians -- New York Times -- August 29, 2015

This was my "headline" back on May 11, 2013, more than two years ago: "Gold Rush" In The Arctic; US Unlikely To Participate; US Will Let The Russians, Canadians, Norwegians, Danes Take The Lead; Heaven Forbid The President Could Make A Decision That Fast.

I posted that little nugget on May 11, 2013. Today, more than two years later, the New York Times finally gets it: US Is Seen As Laggard As Russia Asserts Itself In Warming Arctic. Well, at least part of that statement is correct.  

Russia talks exploration, exploitation.

President Obama talks global warming. I can only imagine what he will suggest for the Arctic.
