International experts warn of ‘no-holds-barred’ Arctic resource race

Posted by Matt in June 28th, 2008

A high-powered group of international experts is warning a “no-holds-barred” race for Arctic resources could shape up unless countries around the world move faster to reach agreements on development, safety and environmental standards.

A new report by 40 experts from six different countries spells out four scenarios for the future of the top of the world - including one in which the Arctic becomes increasingly militarized as demand for energy, minerals and even fresh water outpaces and overwhelms diplomacy.

Arctic time bomb set for 2020?
The flagship of Russia's polar fleet, "Akademik Fyodorov", is due to return to St. Petersburg at the end of a 40-day expedition to the Arctic. It's the same vessel that a year ago rekindled Russia's presence in the region with its ground-breaking survey of the North Pole seabed.

Arctic time bomb set for 2020? The flagship of Russia's polar fleet, "Akademik Fyodorov", is due to return to St. Petersburg at the end of a 40-day expedition to the Arctic. It's the same vessel that a year ago rekindled Russia's presence in the region with its ground-breaking survey of the North Pole seabed. According to Jane's International Defence Review (IDR) magazine, by 2020 fossil fuels could heat up conflicts over the ice-cold plains of the North Pole. As the ice caps melt and the vast recourses located at the top the world become more accessible, the stakes could be raised. Well, the worst case scenario will be some kind of conflict in the Arctic, in particular driven by the high price of oil and gas, said Christian Le Miere, IDRs Managing Editor. If countries find themselves...

Peter Fend - BET AND WIN Way Out Too
" To gamble go to the City, to nuclear gamble try Unit 2 ". Opening with performance by Peter Fend: Friday 30th November 2007, 6 - 8pm 1 December 2007 to 19 January 2008 Someone who has been labelled as an artist but has actually done much more in public light presents two new but contrasting works. Peter Fend's BET AND WIN portrays geopolitical contests in 'defined zones of conflict'. These zones are: 'Europe', 'Africa', 'The Americas', 'East Asia', 'The Arabian Peninsular', 'Korea' and 'The Arctic'. Each zone is represented as a map which happens to fit within a trapezoidal football field. For Peter Fend, the world is a stage for action. His résumé demonstrates this and he will practice it starting this June 2008, with projects sponsored by the United Nations Environment...

Unfortunate Event
Sad to say... There's a software limit on RCT3, not hardware. This happened to my factory, but I didn't think anything about it. But now I am convinced otherwise. From now on... I don't know anymore, I'm very disheartened.

Endangered Animals
Love a little in the wild side. I have one word to say...Conservation. The Music is the theme song to the old children's favourite, Animals of Farthing Wood. Yes it is just music, but I think it suits this clip well :) Farthing Wood is being destroyed for housing, and when the last pond is filled in, the animals begin a life changing journey. They are bound together by an Oath, to lay aside their differences and instincts and protect one another. Many peril through the journey, due to poachers and human conflict, but they charge onwards to their destination, White Deer Park. The Oath of protection remains in tact, and is soon replaced by friendship and loyalty to one another. If they can protect one another, why can't we do the same to them? Note: Please excuse the mistake at the...

Bal-Sagoth - Invocations Beyond The Outer-World Night
[The Testament of the Winds:] Many thousands of years ago, they ruled the globe. But the pressing fist of great power carried a heavy price, and now their dominion has fallen beyond time and shadow. Look now, to the interior world... [The Explorer:] Ah yes, the ancient map (its true origin unknown... mayhap crafted by the same vaunted cartographer as the infamous Piri Reis map itself?) won in a game of cards at Portsmouth Docks... a fortuitous hand indeed! (This could eclipse even Blackthorne's discoveries in Antarctica!) Wagered by a grizzled mariner (in whose weary rum-addled gaze gleamed the knowledge of something far greater)... Twin axial portals to the inner reaches... one at the very polar pinnacle of the world, the other hidden beneath the lost ice-bound megalopolis! [See also:...

Small Island Crisis
---Sign the Petition here--- http://www.avaaz.org/en/sos_small_islands/ --------------------------------------- The full email from AVAAZ.org Dear Friends, Imagine the sea rising around you as your country literally disappears beneath your feet, where the food you grow and the water you drink is being destroyed by salt, and your last chance is to seek refuge in other lands where climate refugees have no official status. This is not a dream, it's the fearful reality for millions of people who live on islands around the world, from the Maldives to Papua New Guinea. That is why these small islands are planning the unprecedented step next week, ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting, of calling on the Security Council itself to address climate change as a pressing threat to...

J. Cousteau Agrees With Quran
Quote from Maurice Bucaille (Professor of Surgery, France) The Bible, the Qur'an and Science page 120 : ''What initially strikes the reader confronted for the first time with a text (The Qur'an) of this kind is the sheer abundance of subjects discussed; The Creation, Astronomy, the Explanation of Certain Matters concerning the Earth, the Animal and Vegetable Kingdoms and Human Reproduction. Whereas monumental errors are to be found in the Bible, I could not find a single error in the Qur'an. I had to stop and ask myself; if a man was the author of the Qur'an, how could he have written facts in the seventh century AD, that today are shown to be in keeping with modern scientific knowledge? There was absolutely no doubt about it, the text of the Qur'an we have today is most definitely a...

Gail Collins - "Palin Ready for the Russian Threat"
Ever since McCain picked Palin, I have been saying that it was because of her experience and readiness towards the Russian threat to the Alaskan region. Russia is only 55 miles from Alaska and Russian PM, Putin re-started the nuclear bomber flights a year ago in the Arctic, the Atlantic and the Pacific for one reason. He is our REAL ENEMY along with radical Islam. Putin in fact is their enabler (Iran, Syria and AlQaeda) and this little secret is slowly making it's way to the public. McCain knows the Russian threat very well and the Russians are afraid of him. The Russian media has been bashing McCain heavily the past few months, because they are trying to show him and the USA as a grave threat to Russia. McCain witnessed the Russian KGB torturing American POW's in Vietnam and...

So we gathered near Russian consulate at my town Gdansk to show our moral support for fight of freedom for all Georgian brave people. We good know that they provoked this conflict.

Gorgians! We understood Your fight. Russia invided your soil only...

GTA IV - Niko Bellic is Serbian
CLICK HERE FOR HIGH QUALITY!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uHTvgtCEhM&fmt=18 music:- Beogradski Sindikat - Oni Su - Beogradski Sindikat - Vec Vidjeno Since many asked me to put back the video, here it is. For the debates, please don't start that again. It's annoying. As I said in the video, the sources says he is Serbian, some say he is Eastern European, in an interview the producer said he is from the war torn part in Europe; none of those contradict it. Anyway, he might be or might not but there is no source saying otherwise. Some links showing Niko is a Serbian: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24356918/ "Niko Bellic, a merchant mariner and Serbian vet of the Bosnian civil war" http://kotaku.com/384421/grand-theft-...
