This is so insane. I wish the aliens would just show up and blow us up and be done with it. So, the earth that we all live in is so damaged by our use of fossil fuels that the farking ice caps are melting (spelling DOOM for, well, most people in the world), but we are rushing into those icy waters to... get more oil. Which we will burn. And further screw it all up.
Oh the humanity. Oh the earth. There really aren't words for this kind of burning horror.
"Riches await as Earth's icy north melts
The latest report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says the ice cap is warming faster than the rest of the planet and ice is receding, partly due to greenhouse gases. It's a catastrophic scenario for the Arctic ecosystem, for polar bears and other wildlife, and for Inuit populations whose ancient cultures depend on frozen waters.
But some see a lucrative silver lining of riches waiting to be snatched from the deep, and the prospect of timesaving sea lanes that could transform the shipping industry the way the Suez Canal did in the 19th century.
Regardless of climate change, oil and gas exploration in the Arctic is moving full speed ahead. "
