Climate change, Russian aggression make for a perfect storm in Canada’s north

As climate change reshapes our planet, the geopolitical landscape is also changing.
In Canada’s north, the melting ice has led to a power play for influence and resources. Russian aggression on the world stage has created new and urgent attention on the security of Canada’s Arctic.
Earlier this fall, a Canadian navy icebreaker sailed to an area in the far north for the first time.
For this week’s episode of The New Reality, Jeff Semple spent time on board as the crew navigated uncharted waters.

Yes but when the climate has changed in the past it has had consequences for organisms relying upon it. Anoxic bacteria went extinct 2 billion years ago when oxygen abundances from photosynthetic processes by blue green algae became prominent in the atmosphere. About 95 % of life went extinct 250 million years ago when the Siberian Satraps increased carbon abundances in the atmosphere . Curtis you rely on a stable environment where you live to allow you to afford whatever life style you have. If that changes doesn't matter what you can afford because nature doesn't care what you can or cannot afford. A tornado doesn't pick or choose. Flooding rivers or fierce forest fires don't stop at your house and move past. You have relied on a status quo kind of climate for a long time (been around for about 10,000 years) but if it no longer is the status quo you either get with the picture or drown in the flood. Nature doesn't mince words.

this region lays on the techtonic plate and continental shelf of russia so according to international law, historical presedents, and most other countrys consensus is not canadian territory. Even the usa doesnt recognize canadian claims here as well and often sends ship thru it with out permission to prove this point . this also explains why harper thought it most important to find evidence of the franklin expeidition to prop up canada's dubious historic claim to this area. . no mention of how if ice free this area would create a huge shipping corridor reducing travel distance thousands of miles, allowing ships to by pass the panama canal saving billions and reducing sea voyages by 14 days.- and potentially generating billions annualy in transit fees . no mention of the huge fish stocks , barely mentioned hydro carbons, no mention of other resources like minerals or gold. another flawed heavily biased report from a legacy media. If you want the real facts stop watching 2nd rate news outlets like this one.

Canada MUST send heavily armed ships to protect OUR country. Any Russian vessels enter our waters should be treated as hostile and potentially a threat against NATO.

God said the climate will be fine. Genesis 8:22 - While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin1559]

How do you get to hell? Very simple: claim that you're innocent. How do you get to heaven? Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy. How to know if you're guilty or not? Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible. Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police. Do not lie. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery. Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word. There are six more but let's just leave it at that. How many lies have you told in your life? Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you? Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman. How many times a day do you do that? Do you use God's name as a cuss word? Would you do that with your own mother's name? If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty. God can justly punish you and send you to hell. Ask him for mercy. His name is Jesus. It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine. The fine is death. Ezekiel 18:20 - "The soul who sins shall die. That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy. Option A. You die for your own sins. Option B. Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died on the cross for you.

And God looked and said "I create a climate that can be impacted by geology, astronomic events, and by biological activity. While earth remains, chemical changes and abundances caused by the aforementioned activity can impact and shift climate from extreme warm to extreme cold and that life upon it shall either cease to exist or adapt to survive for climate change is a product of my creation."

Please explain why you have to go so slow due to your lack of adequate technology while also pretending that you are on a serious mission for Canada's arctic-defense?!? Did you know that technology existed (at Canadian Tire, made in China) for both building reinforced (for icebreaking) metals as well as underwater radar?!? Am I missing something here?!? Could you not use a cruise-ship to speed-up your urgent mission, funded through the ads on this Global News KZbin Channel?!? What!!!! The Navy can create new positions?!? I can't wait to be offered a work-contract with them then soon!?! Professor-Marty.

[@JGL841]

Don't worry, the feds are just waiting for Washington to tell them what to do...otherwise they'll be pretty content to just let the arctic stay undefended as it is now.
