Global Warming - $2 Trillion in Natural Resources Uncovered
$2 Trillion in Natural Resources Uncovered

Several countries are fighting over territories being uncovered in the Arctic because of global warming: Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. The feud is fueled by a potential $2 Trillion in natural resources. The folks who live there, Intuits (Eskimos) and Sami are being dissed in lieu of visions of black gold flowing into the aforementioned nation’s coffers. However, there are environmental groups supporting them and making sure that they do not become casualties of the dispute.

I don’t know about you, but if I was an Intuit, with all that bubblin crude in my back yard, I’d forget herding reindeer and switch to Wampas.

 With all the squabbling over ownership, Tristan Pearce, a research associate at the University of Guelph's Global Environmental Change Group in Canada, reminded Arctic nations of who got there first: indigenous peoples like the Inuits and the Sami. "Everybody is talking about the potential for minerals, diamonds, oil and gas, but we mustn't forget that people live there, all the way across the Arctic," he said. "They've always been there and they have a major role to play." (comcast.net)
