As the earth warms and our hunger for oil and other natural resources grows, the Arctic—once a peaceful repose for Santa—is already a crisscross of territorial claims that could get even more complicated in coming years according to a new map drawn up by researchers at Durham University, who say it is the only geographically accurate map of its kind.
This is a complex issue that needs to be addressed by negotiations, not war. I just want to point out that 90% of the scientific world agree that there IS a global warming that is caused by humans mainly by burning oil. You can put your head in the sand, but this is the 21st century, the politicians, the governments need to wake up and the fake scientists need to stop their lies. Hopefully, the general public will kick the crazy warmongerers out before they would go to war even with Russia for something that is already out of date.
