Heres another new battle ground possible...and it's very cold up there. Surprise also, not one Jew or Palastinian is mentioned here, not one. By the way for those who say there is "NO GLOBAL Warming", while this article is NOT about Global Warming, Global warming is mentiioned a 1/2 dz or so times , or so it seemed in my first reading...there fore I am so confused. -------------------------------------------------------------- english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/05/201151713273937174.html--------------------------------------------- [Click on link to read the article] --------------------------------------------------- Energy experts estimate that the Arctic contains more than one fifth of the world's petroleum [GALLO/GETTY] "It is considered the final frontier for oil and gas exploitation, and secret US embassy cables published by WikiLeaks confirm that nations are battling to "carve up" the Arctic's vast resources. "The twenty-first century will see a fight for resources," Russian Ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin was quoted as saying in a 2010 cable. "Russia should not be defeated in this fight." Along with exposing an estimated 22 per cent of the world's oil, ice melting due to global warming will open new shipping lanes, the arteries of global commerce, which nations are competing to control. And Russia certainly is not the only country eyeing the frozen prize. Per Stig Moller, then Danish foreign minister, mused in a 2009 cable that "new shipping routes and natural resource discoveries would eventually place the region at the centre of world politics". Canada, the US, Russia, Norway, Denmark, and perhaps even China, have competing claims to the Arctic, a region about the size of Africa, comprising some six per cent of the Earth's surface." |

See how smart Republicans are! They are doing us a favor by trying to destroy existing environmental regulations and any future regulations to combat global warming which they say doesn't exist in the first place. Ingenious!
I salute you, Jim Inhofe!

See how smart Democrats are! They believe everything the party says no matter what. I'm betting they believe that Gore invented the Internet too!.
