Climate Change

Illinois Climatologist Jim Angel gave presentation on climate change in Illinois. His data did not show any particular trend other than there have been wetter and dryer periods and there have been warmer and cooler periods. He did touch briefly on the fact that the Arctic ocean is melting. I recently read an article on freight navigation in the Arctic Ocean. Much like the airlines, ocean shipping that uses the Arctic Ocean can save time and fuel. I guess there may be something positive from the warming.
