(Washington Post) - TROMSO, Norway This small country, which has a vast treasure of undersea oil and an intense civic concern about global warming, is struggling with a dilemma -- but it is one that most nations would envy. In little more than two generations, oil and gas have transformed Norway from a country recovering from World War II occupation into an economic powerhouse. But now its citizens and politicians are debating whether it should take advantage of Earth's warming to drill for more oil above the Arctic Circle, knowing that consumption of that oil will accelerate climate change.
