how big is a swath?



A federal judge in Alaska has reinstated a ban on oil-and-gas drilling in vast swaths of the Arctic Ocean, potentially undermining a central part of the Trump administration’s effort to expand offshore drilling.

how big is a swath?
bigger than a patch?
wider than a spot?
deeper than a politician?
*
how cold is the Arctic Ocean?
colder than a polar bear's nose?
chillier than a raw blizzard?
More frozen than Birdseye?
*
how much should we care?
as much as we can?
just a little to look good?
not even enough to finish this . . .
