	The Nenana Ice Classic: Betting on Warming
		Since the Nenana temperature record was too fragmented to mean anything, with a big 15-year gap around 1980, the authors really had no excuse for using 1949 as a start date for determining trends since the Fairbanks and University record above covers the full period of ice breakup data.
		Apart from the fact that it must be difficult to tell from visual observation alone whether river ice ice is being broken up through melt or is breaking up under the strain of mechanical forces from upstream, the authors appear to have been only listening to what they wanted to hear from the residents.
		Their claims of correlations between river breakup dates and climatic warming are based primarily on selecting only part of the available data, significantly excluding the peak warm year of 1940.
