more on newtok

Former Anchorage Daily News reporter Doug OHarra has this post on the NY Times recent story on Newtok. OHarra challenges the claim of widespread permafrost thawing, as well as the claim that Newtoks problem is linked to climate change. He has good links to the Department of Commerces pages on the village.
On another note, a friend recently offered the following on the terminology of permafrost state changes: "Permafrost does NOT melt! Just like a steak does not melt when you take it out of the freezer - it THAWS."
