Why global warming could start a world war in the Arctic



Daily Mail’s Political Correspondent Chris Pleasance dives into the Arctic war.

This is how and why each of these global powers are now squaring up over the Arctic Circle, what they are fighting over, and how all of that affects the great game for global dominance that is already playing out further to the south.

  1. The USA are losers. They can’t even control the Red Sea, but they are going into the Arctic without a single normal icebreaker. Russia has spent more than 100 years developing the Northern Sea Route and the Arctic coast, so the United States will never have enough resources to do anything comparable in cost. If they don’t have them for a normal railway or to build an electrical network in Hawaii, then what other bases are there in the Arctic? Build a fence with Mexico first).

  2. China has a plan, it is now a near Arctic nation. As it continues to slowly infiltrate the Canadian government and society, it is only a matter of time that China will have a place to set up an Arctic base. The Canadian government wont notice or seem to care until the Prime Minister’s office is invaded. Doesn’t much matter as Canada has no, and I mean no Armed Forces.

  3. Putin is definitely a dangerous scoundrel but if you compare the Russian navy to NATO's capability, I wouldn't be too afraid. In the Black Sea Russia's navy is getting pounded by a country without much of a navy. The North Sea and the Arctic are a whole other ball game (i.e. NATO countries do have real navies and they know how to use them).

  4. Why don’t the Russia just go home because we all know Putin just wants to steel Moreland. It’s not even his or Russia or China go home where you belong do you have north pole and South Pole thing soon have no place to chips we’re gonna stop them all trespassing summaries might do them sink you don’t need them.

  5. The relevance of this video is totally useless. When the Arctic summer sea ice disappearing within a few years and the loss of the reflection of sunlight back into space from the white ice and snow, in peer-reviewed journals scientists have predicted that the extra heat absorbed into the dark blue Arctic ocean will be equivalent to 1 trillion (yes trillion) tons of CO2 emissions, equal to the last 25 years of record CO2 emissions. The result will be an immediate rise in the next summer of at least 1 degree Celsius of global temperature. This would be more than enough to accelerate existing positive feedback loops, such as methane emissions from the Arctic sea bed and tundra, and to kick in dozens of other feedback loop. An 8 degree rise in a couple years is a possible scenario, again more than enough to eliminate all sustainable habitat for humans. Already naturalist believe that the current rate of climate change is 10,000 (yes 10,000) times greater than vertebrae mammals are capable of adapting to.

    Food security will be a thing of the past and famine its obvious successor. Within the short interim before our demise just imagine the mass migrations, famines, social chaos and warfare between nations over scarier and scarier resources. Then, when industrial emissions of aerosols into the upper atmosphere drops by only 20% from current levels, these particles will also no longer reflect sunlight back into space. The term for this phenomena is called the thermal masking effect, look it up. Again, another massive spike in global temperature will result.

    And as the final nail in the coffin, if one was still necessary, will be the explosion of the 440 current nuclear reactors when the refineries can no longer produce diesel fuel to power the back up generators of the nuclear power plants. The resultant massive holes in the ozone layer will burn all (yes all) life on this poor, fragile planet to a crisp. Unfortunately, for Elon Mush and Jeff Bozo this will happen long before their Mars colonies could ever hope to be achieved and those ultra- wealth rats will go down with our planetary ship just like the rest of us.
