  2. A Response to Harvey Hill? I totally agree. And now for a blue perspective To someone with a hammer, everything looks like a nail To someone thinking spatially, everything becomes GIS

  3. By George it’s blue! The ice is writing the story The oceans adapt the story The land will read the story How ice goes, so goes the oceans. How oceans go, so goes the land

  11. Impact Challenges • Change implies permanency, a final level, a stable result • Variability ? ability to predict seasonally and spatially. • Farm migration • Deprivation (psychological stresses) • Mass ice wasting • ocean model life span • governance models for tri-lateral action for one continent • .

  12. To find new ways to link ideas

  13. connect to absence of mitigation
