Link: The New York Times Journalist Roger Howard, author of the new book "Arctic Gold Rush: The New Race for Tomorrow's Natural Resources," writes in an op-ed piece that the world should be skeptical of predictions that vast new oil reserves will become accessible as Arctic ice retreats under pressure from global warming. "Mapping deep and complex underwater rock formations takes considerable time, far more than the Arctic Ocean — much of it still frozen over outside late summer — currently allows. In such circumstances, scientific 'estimates' do not deserve to be called any more than the wildest of wild guesses."
