In an article I recently posted, it was predicted the Northwest Passage would be open for two years in a row, prompting some shippers to wonder if this lane might become a reliable shipping course. For the first time in over 100 years, not only is the Northwest Passage over North America open, but the the Northern Sea Route over Europe is open simultaneously, causing the scientists who push the global warming theory to finally believe they have their proof. However, the article also brings to light the much unreported fact that the Antarctic ice is growing; does this mean the northern hemosphere is in global warming and the southern hemosphere is cooling? For more information, read this article and the previous article I posted about the melting of Artic ice and the debate over which country would "own" the new available waters.
