"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Today, Countries Battle for a Piece of the Arctic. Tomorrow? The Moon
Submitted by Melinda Secor on Thu, 2007-11-29 17:00
"In fact, all five nations with Arctic borders ? Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia, and the US ? have engaged in at least some saber rattling over the frozen territory. And it wouldn't be happening without global warming. Roughly 386,000 square miles of Arctic ice melted in 2007 alone, opening the fabled Northwest Passage for the first time in recorded history. The melt also made the billions of barrels of oil thought to be under the Arctic suddenly seem within our grasp. Some are calling it the Cold Rush."
