- "A very sad day." ConocoPhillips executives grapple with loss of drilling rig. www.alaskasnewssource.com/video/2026/0...
- Don't expect the Doyon rig accident that took place Friday evening to slow Conoco down. In an email obtained by enviro groups seeking an injunction on winter activity, Conoco's lawyers say, "Exploration activities are continuing & the seismic program is proceeding as planned."
- Fwiw, I wrote about the impacts of thawing permafrost on oil/gas infrastructure on the North Slope for @grist.org and @typeinvestigations.org in 2022. grist.org/energy/perma...
- First report from Alaska DEC regarding the Doyon rig accident. Evidence of a diesel spill has been confirmed--approx 4,000 gallons were on board--some 500 feet from a tributary of the Colville River & in critical habitat for polar bears, caribou, arctic fox, ptarmigan, & muskox.
- If I was based in Alaska I'd be on the next flight to Nuiqsut. ConocoPhillips, the North Slope Borough, & BLM under Trump will do everything they can to suppress information about the drilling rig accident that took place on Friday. Same thing happened with the gas leak in 2022.
- Another serious ConocoPhillips accident on Alaska’s North Slope, not far from the village of Nuiqsut. In 2022 the company had a major gas leak at its Alpine field, which required the evacuation of 400 workers. www.adn.com/business-eco...
- Trump admin openly admitted that it had little if any legal justification for rounding up and trying to deport student activists involved in protests against the war in Gaza. Absolutely shameful. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

- This did not get much attn at the time but in early December Tom Dans--whose brother Paul was director of Project 2025--was appointed chair of the US Arctic Research Commission, an advisory board that determines scientific priorities in the region. www.arctic.gov/news-12-10-25/
- In 1968 a B-52 bomber carrying four thermonuclear weapons crashed on the ice just west of the US military base in Greenland. While the bombs did not detonate, they burned-- dispersing toxic and radioactive pollutants into the surrounding environment. 1/ inthesetimes.com/article/cold...
- Joined @samseder.bsky.social and @emmavigeland.bsky.social to talk about Trump's polar madness and the future of U.S.-Greenlandic relations. @majorityreport.bsky.social majorityreportradio.com/2026/01/21/1...
- confusing Greenland with Iceland--as Trump did repeatedly during his Davos speech--is not a good look
- Good to see the U.S. investing in its Arctic infrastructure & military assets www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
- Truth is, Russia has made deep incursions into Greenland. For example, here’s a Lada on the streets of Qaanaaq, no less owned and operated by the municipality!
- I traveled to Greenland in 2023 and found the people to be very open to partnering with the US on trade, security, minerals etc. The US had been very effective in using soft power to achieve its goals. In a single year, the Trump admin has completely blown up whatever goodwill there was.
