In a vivid example of how a small geographic feature may have far-reaching impacts on climate, new research shows that water levels in the Bering Strait—which separates the US and Russia by only 90 kilometers (56 miles)—helped drive global climate patterns during ice age episodes dating back more than 100,000 years.

If current rates of decline continue through 2020, the state will need to reduce emissions at a rate of 4.97% each year in the decade between 2020 and 2030, and produce even steeper declines in the period from 2030 to 2050, if it is to meet current climate goals. But the effects of these efforts seem to be reaching a plateau.

We’re also exploring and assessing new frontiers for oil and gas development from Alaska to the Mid- and South Atlantic. We have to discover and produce cleaner, renewable sources of energy with less of the carbon pollution that threatens our climate. But let’s be honest—it’s not the long-term solution to our energy challenge.
