Springtime Weather Finally Warms Up Inland Alaska
by Ravenna Koenig
https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2018/05/04/creamers-field-2-edit-6743d311b53daef2d4565baf589ab87fb930fbad-s800-c85.jpg
(NPR) Winter in Fairbanks, Alaska can be brutal. Daylight dips below 4 hours, and temperatures regularly fall past -30F.
So spring, when it finally shows up, is a big deal. People can reel off a long list of the things that signal the season is underway.
One of them is a 93-year-old man in a custard-yellow truck...
...Springtime also means that a less welcome airborne critter is back in town. The mosquito.
"Our state bird," says Gerry Hovda, manager at Frontier Outfitters. It's a sporting goods store that sells everything from camping equipment to guns to fishing line. And, of course, mosquito gear. They've got netting for cots and strollers, a mosquito repellant wash for clothes, chemical discs you can burn to keep the bugs away,plus mosquito spray. Hovda says he puts them out "soon as the handwarmers get put away."
The first mosquitoes start appearing around this time. By this summer they'll be everywhere.
"They get in your nose, they get in your mouth, you can have lunch out riding your bike," Hovda says...

Alaska Rolls Out Draft Climate Policy
by Daniel J. Graeber
May 10 (UPI) ...This week, the Alaskan division of British energy company BP reached a gas sales agreement with the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. for product from the North Slope.
AGDC wants to build pipelines and associated infrastructure to process state gas into liquefied natural gas, a super-cooled form of gas that has more maneuverability than other piped resources. The project includes an 807-mile pipeline across Alaska that could serve the export market.
The U.S. Interior Department, meanwhile, outlined plans for a leasing environmental impact statement for an oil and gas leasing in the 1.6 million acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge designated as the so-called 1002 Area. Walker said opening ANWR up to drillers presented a historic opportunity for a state struggling with budgetary issues amid declining oil and gas production...
...The state revenue forecast estimates average oil production of 521,800 barrels of oil per day in 2018 and 526,600 bpd for fiscal year 2019. Federal data show the five-week moving average for state production at 500,000 bpd, down 5 percent from the same period last year.
State residents are called on to submit comments by June 4.
