I don't know where to begin, but I'm tempted to drive up to Fairbanks to confront this problem. Three sources now indicate that Dr. Jane Lubchenco, the head of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration has denied during Monday's Nome visit, that she has any knowledge whatsoever that there is a problem on the Yukon River regarding salmon returns, and has disambiguated when questioned about sustainability issues in the area - Northwest Alaska - when confronted by the few people at her public appearances who were knowledgeable about how complex this is.
More coming.
At this point, though, all I can do is apologize to readers here to whom I've touted this scientist so fully in the past.
Meanwhile, her staff has not been cooperative on helping me set up an interview.
