SEAN OF THE ARCTIC: A NORTHWEST PASSAGE?

Global warming is, of course, a fact. The world is changing, and many of those changes will be disastrous, particularly those concerned with the loss of habitat and the biodiversity supported by same.

Yet, as this news item forwarded by Sean (profiled on pg. 22 of this PDF file) shows, there will be opportunities that emerge from global warming, including the possible exploitation of oil deposits as yet-inaccessible in an ice-locked Arctic. What a strange, sick synergy---that the removal of some fossil fuels could then create conditions that lead to even more such removal. Perhaps, in the near future, we’ll even see oil company-sponsored ‘science’ programming arguing how good global warming is for all of us!
