Here's the story hook for you.
Polar Cities: Wussies Need Not Apply
http://achangeinthewind.typepad.com/acha...
My equaintance Danny Bloom, former Alaskan (Nome, Juneau, Fort Yukon) -- following up on the Polar Cities idea first proposed by James Lovelock--was spotlighted this week by Andy Revkin in The New York Times.
Glad to see Danny's hard work getting some attention. My favorite comment on his concept, which, simply put, is that if we don't change our lifestyles, we're going to have to changes our lives -- and move north -- comes from this hardy Alaskan.

One of your readers in Fairbanks has made a funny comment in New York
Times blog DOT EARTH about polar cities in future.

Would love it if one of your reporters would email me and do an interview with me about polar cities in future. Read the New York Times piece by Andrew Revkin first. Some of these future polar cities will be sited in Barrow area, and Chena Hot Springs, even UAF and Juneau. James Lovelock the UK scientist knows about this and say "it may very well happen and soon."
I think a good feature in your paper would be a good read for local people there. I would email you offline but my emails don't seem to be getting through, that is to say, you never reply to them. So do email me and ask your science reporter to interview me about very interesting idea of polar cities in Alaska in 500 years. Food for thought. Several profs at UAF know about this idea and project and can give your reporter quotes pro and con. Can we at least discuss this.
By the way, your good copy editor piece is now highlighted at www.testycopyeditors.org (as a former copy editor at papers in Juneau and Tokyo and Taipei, I loved your comments. By the way, Kelly, what is an ATOMIC TYPO, do you know? Why the word ATOMIC is used for that term? Speaking of which, when I was editor of the Capital City Weekly in Juneau, 1985ish, I once wrote a story that talked about going widow-shopping in the downtown area, when of course I meant to type in WINDOW SHOPPING. Oops. Typo alert. So I loved your good column, sir. Do email me. Okay?

Elders, scientists talk climate change

IQALUIT - With the mercury pushing far past 20 C and into record-breaking territory, the Planning for Climate Change Symposium in Iqaluit took on added significance.
The July 20-23 event was held to share how climate change is affecting the North, and for city planners, scientists, elders and politicians to discuss successes and concerns, share stories and build upon initiatives to slow down climate change.
Sunday's keynote speaker Sheila Watt-Cloutier, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has worked for the last 12 years as an Inuit rights advocate and has linked climate change to human rights.
