There are many issues concerning what used to be the great white north. As global warming advances more and more of the arctic will become land without glaciers on top. This means that the environment will change drastically, essentially a new ecosystem is being born and life will colonize the new land. How much of that new life will be human remains to be seen.
All Countries bordering the arctic will lay claim to some portion but clearly this will mainly be a battle between the US and Russia. Both nations will take advantage of the vast untapped oil fields currently trapped under miles of ice.
Territorial disputes may lead to military conflict as some russian newspapers are preparing for but whoever ends up with the land, what they do with it will have a huge impact.
Oil spotted wasteland or refuge for the displaced creatures of the world?

if the US owns that territory, does that mean the Russian’s plan on taking it from us? I’m not sure how much sense that makes in modern times, especially because I would think (or hope) that we would’ve gotten green tech right enough to power cars before that land is viable?
I always used to study post in news papers but now as I am a user of net
therefore from now I am using net for posts, thanks to web.
It’s very easy to find out any matter on web as compared
to books, as I found this piece of writing at this web page.
