Meh, it's happened before and things were OK.

Guess I'll keep pouring lead additive into my '65 Galaxie, then. Woo! 10 miles per gallon!

Why vegan/vegetarian specifically? If it makes them cannibals, it makes everyone who swallows cannibals.

Depends. Culturally they seemed to vicariously reminisce of the days of Alexander.

Ah, that's right. Damn, that's half the social scene there.

We work on the fuel farm. It's up for a major overhaul in a couple years.

Back when I was a kid you would fight over the vice-grips you used to turn the shaft where the missing channel knob was supposed to be. The vice grips doubling as a makeshift cosh was integral to the conflict.

Yeah. Grandfathers aren't supposed to hug their grandkids, after all.

Oh, holy shit. They normally leave the foundation vents open on the buildings in the winter and close them in the spring to make sure the permafrost stays frozen.

One of my coworkers (who loves going to Thule) is a major climate change denier. Wonder how he'll spin that when we go back in a couple years.

"The tow" isn't ringing bells - what's that again?

That's true. Without economic pressure it's a lot harder to get governments to cooperate, though. If economics favor you it's easier to get the right laws passed.

Maybe at the south pole. There's little to no snow around where I was in northern Greenland. It gets above freezing up there during the summer and it almost never snows, so what accumulation you do get is actually from snow being blown off the ice cap rather than down from the sky. So it takes a while to build back up in the winter.
