'Mutual suicide': US issues stark warning on climate change24-02-2021 22:49 | |

Thought I would take a stab at triggering all the Climate Debate loons... "The United States has warned inaction by world powers on climate change is tantamount to a "mutual suicide pact" after countries such as China, India, and Russia expressed scepticism on the global security threat it posed... John Kerry, the US special presidential envoy for climate, told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that the Pentagon has described the climate crisis as "a threat multiplier"... He called the climate situation "indisputably a Security Council issue" after some nations said it had no place for discussion at the UN body... Failing to address climate change is "marching forward to what is almost tantamount to a mutual suicide pact", said Kerry. "We bury our heads in the sand at our own peril. It's urgent to treat the climate crisis as the urgent security threat that it is."... British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged fellow leaders to take immediate action on the climate crisis or face worsening global instability. "Whether you like it or not it is a matter of when, not if, your country and your people will have to deal with the security impacts of climate change," said Johnson"... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/24/mutual-suicide-us-issues-stark-warning-on-climate-change Edited on 24-02-2021 22:51 |

Here Swan. So you don't sound like a triggered loon posting from your padded cell, below is a global security review you can reference if this discussion ever comes up again. "The melting of the Arctic sea ice has coincided with the discovery of energy deposits as well as the development of the technology needed to access those resources. These developments have caused the members of the Arctic Council—states with territorial claims in the Arctic—to pay increased levels of attention to the region. The Arctic Council is made up of Canada, Finland, Denmark (Greenland), Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States (Alaska). Of these, Canada and Russia hold the most territory (Russia controls the most Arctic territory of any Arctic state). Being a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which states that a country's Exclusive Economic Zone extends 200 nautical miles offshore, Russian claims cover approximately 40 percent of the Arctic. The Arctic plays host to substantial natural resources. A 2008 report released by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated that the Arctic holds around 1,670 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 44 billion barrels of liquid natural gas, and 90 billion barrels of oil—the vast majority of these being offshore. As more territory becomes accessible, excess reserves of gold, zinc, nickel, and iron already found in part of the Arctic may be discovered. From the connectivity perspective, the two major sea routes that permit ships to pass through the Arctic run along the Russian and Canadian coasts, i.e., the Northern Sea Route and the Northwest Passage... The Russian government's planned Murmansk Transport Hub will construct new roads, railway infrastructure, ports, and other facilities on the western side of the Kola Bay. It is described as one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Russia and by far the largest in the Arctic. There are also plans to upgrade the M18 highway between Murmansk and the Norwegian border. The new road will significantly improve the route between the border towns of Nikel, Russia and Kirkenes, Norway. The Sabetta Port project is a joint project undertaken by Novatek and the Russian Federal government to service the Yamal LNG project and a nearby gas field operated by Novatek. The port will facilitate gas shipments of both eastwards and westwards along the Northern Sea Route. Furthermore, the Russian government also plans to produce the LK-60 icebreaker and the LK-60 II icebreaker, which are required for cargo ships to access the NSR. The economic benefits of the Northern Sea Route, combined with large-scale Arctic infrastructure development projects and the existence of substantial energy resources of energy resources to be tapped, make the Arctic a lucrative prospect for Russia and the other Arctic states. However, the strategic desirability of the Arctic trade route will depend on many factors, including the continuous melting of ice, development of modern vessels to sustain harsh weather conditions, an upward trend in global trade, increased demand in Asian markets, persistent piracy around the Horn of Africa, growing instability in the countries around the Suez Canal region, and heightened congestion in the Strait of Malacca. All these factors will further contribute to the geostrategic importance of the Arctic as a natural resource and transportation hub. At the same time, however, the growing importance of the region may also lead to increased competition." https://globalsecurityreview.com/arctic-new-maritime-shipping-route/ |

And some more security review... "In March 2020, the Kremlin published an Arctic decree, paving policy plans for the next fifteen years that focus on the industrialization of the region and its' military defense. Perhaps the most topical geopolitical approach in the decree is the importance of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The NSR decreases the sailing time from China to Europe by 40% compared to traveling through the Suez Canal—making it a popular route for trade. With melting polar ice caps and increasing climate change, the NSR is also becoming more passable than ever. While Russia views the NSR as an internal waterway, most of the international community does not. This makes the decree's allotment of responsibility to Rosatom to limit traffic in the NSR from foreign warships without a 45-day notification a clear indication of Russia's claim in the region. Other states, such as the United States, do not agree with Russia's claim of sovereignty. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in 2019, "In the Northern Sea Route, Moscow already illegally demands that other nations request permission to pass, requires Russian maritime pilots to be aboard foreign ships, and threatens to use military force to sink any that fail to comply." Beyond the usage of the NSR waterway, Russia's military posture in the Arctic demonstrates a clear and present focus on the region for the foreseeable future. With the reopening of 50 previously closed Soviet-era military posts, Russia currently emphasizes early warning and defense as its military doctrine. To fulfill this doctrine, Russia has recently tested new capabilities, including hypersonic cruise missiles and nuclear-powered undersea drones. These new capabilities are supported by Russia's nuclear and non-nuclear icebreaker 40 ship fleet, which is the largest in the world." https://globalsecurityreview.com/russia-arctic-ambitions/ Edited on 28-02-2021 19:28 |

So, Russia lay claim, to land and water, nobody wanted bad enough to fight over, because it was basically useless, and not cost effective to exploit. Global warmist, are now want to weasel in, because it shows promise, if the ice melts, and could be catastrophic, if Russia continues to burn fossil fuels, releasing the demonic CO2, destroying the planet in the process. I suppose it could be a security issue, since they plan to weaponize natural resources, an attack on global domination... I don't think Russia is buying into the global warming crap, or expecting the ice caps to melt. They are building better icebreaker ships, to open up the shipping lanes. Why shouldn't the control it, they are paying for it. They didn't put up a toll gate, yet... They are doing, what most countries had stopped doing decades ago, developing the tools and technology, to make use of what was once considered useless. Yeah Russia is a huge threat to the security of the global warming folks. When they can start extracting those natural resources, transport them cheap and freely, it's going to undermine the price hikes everywhere else, to force people into solar panels and windmills. |

All the bases that are needed are already in place. The Russians have their bases in Murmansk (starting point for the Kursk's final voyage) and NATO (including the US) conducts operations in Thule, Greenland. If the ice were to disappear due to some miraculous violation of physics, wouldn't we need private sector gas stations and convenience stores instead? . I don't think i can [define it].
