Okay folks it looks like I may have been dinged for this remark by someone SO let me explain. Water is the most fresh water is the most valuable resource in the world!!! Every state in the lower 48 has dealt with drought in the last 50-100 years. We also pay almost nothing for the most valuable resource we use. We can live without gold and oil but only a few days without water. So Alaska melts. The water is going to pool as you see in the picture. Plants are going to adopt. Animals will do as they always do and adapt. In time Alaska, Greenland, Antarctica will be paradise. Some people say water supply will be the cause of Armageddon. If you look at it in this context my remarks would not be far off. The natives are upset as they should be. They are going to have to adapt and it takes a lot of time for everything and everyone to adopt to the new world. During this period of evolution nobody knows what is going to stay or go. Man worst enemy change.
