Global warming in the Arctic is proceeding at almost twice the rate of the rest of the globe, according to a new international study released Monday.
Effects of global warming in the Arctic region include a major decline of summer sea ice. If the trends are not stopped the effects would likely see the extinction of species including the polar bear and various seals, and flooding due to higher sea levels.
The effects were attributed to global warming caused by carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases” caused by human activities around the world.
The climate change will mean more forest fires and insect infestations, as well as flooding in coastal areas. Increased levels of ultraviolet radiation are likely to boost the number of cancer cases and immune system disorders among people in the arctic region, the report said.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
