Climate Change Might Open Up Northwest Passage to Shipping by 2050
2013-03-07 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Investigating what is sometimes seen as one of the more favorable effects of climate change, a pair of scientists from UCLA has done a careful analysis of the melting of Arctic sea ice and concluded that it could lead to ships traversing the ice-free Northwest Passage (NWP) by 2050. It would also lead to much shorter transit times through the existing North Sea Passage (NSR). These developments may greatly reduce the time and cost of shipping but would also lead to unforeseen economic and geopolitical...

Climate change will open up surprising new Arctic shipping routes
2013-03-05 21:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Right now, the Arctic Ocean is still too icy and treacherous for open-water ships to traverse with any regularity. The Northwest Passage is only navigable during the summer months once every seven years or so. Too unreliable for commercial shipping. This will all get a lot easier. But that will soon change. As the planet keeps warming, the Arctic`s summer sea ice is vanishing at a stunning pace. That rapid melt is expected to have all sorts of sweeping impacts, from speeding up climate change...

As Arctic ice melts, full steam ahead for shipping
2013-03-05 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: There will certainly be more negative than positive effects from climate change. But shipping routes across the Arctic Ocean -- which have been ice-covered and impassable since humans invented ships millenniums ago -- could be open for the first time by midcentury because of climate change, a study suggests. This includes shipping directly across the North Pole and through the famed Northwest Passage, a sea route from Newfoundland toward the Bering Strait, neither of which has ever been done....
Study: Global warming could help Arctic shipping
2013-03-05 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: A study suggests that global warming is opening up a first-time chance to cruise through the Northwest Passage, which could translate into big savings in time and money for shippers. Who said global warming is all bad? There will certainly be many more negative effects than positive ones from climate change. But shipping routes across the Arctic Ocean which have been ice-covered and impassable since humans invented ships millenniums ago could be open to ships for the first time by midcentury,...
