Race for Oil, Fish, Diamonds and Shipping Routes Heats Up as Global Warming Melts the Arctic


HAMMERFEST, Norway (AP) -- Barren and uninhabited, Hans Island is very hard to find on a map. Yet these days the Frisbee-shaped rock in the Arctic is much in demand -- so much so that Canada and Denmark have both staked their claim to it with flags and warships. The reason: an international race for oil, fish, diamonds and shipping routes, accelerated by the impact of global warming on Earth's frozen north.

1. And you thought global warming was a bad thing
Global warming could be the best thing that ever happened to Big Oil, uncovering vast new untapped oil reserves!

2. yeah, but it's still a death sentence
mr pig is riding a bucking bronco as is: imagine if a populist demagogue like Huey Long, for example, came along and said 'let's kill them all off, take all their wealth, which is tens of trillions, and try fix the world through technology and an honest global communal effort!'...heck, i'd join up!
one thing for certain. we can't afford the rich and human survival too- it's one, or the other
