Arctic Ocean could be open for regular services until 2017

Arctic Ocean could be open for regular services until 2017

The Arctic Ocean could be open for regular commercial air transport within the next five to 10 years, according to a Canadian scientist, the Polar Research Conference for the International Polar Year out.

But while that may sound like good news for the intercontinental trade could be the changing ice conditions bring new dangers for ships on the polar seas.

“Just because you cut the ice so, is one of the things we found that the rate at which the ice moved, increased,” said Dr. David Barber, chief scientist of the lead Circumpolar Flaw (CFL to study).

Barber

present the results of his study on Wednesday at the International Polar Year Conference in Montreal. More than 2,000 scientists have weekly conference to discuss the results of the International Polar Year, which lasted from 2007 to 2009.

Barber

study involved spending a whole winter on board the Canadian Coast Guard research icebreaker, the Amundsen, in the open waters of the Beaufort Sea. CFL is an oceanographic term for water between the land masses of the Arctic sea ice, and furniture.

“We wanted something unique, something nobody else had ever done to do and we have seen so scientific -. What are the big questions we have,” Barber said.

“There will always return to this question: What happens to the open water in winter”

the answers they were stunned to him.

Arctic coast and more similar to the Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean

with the open sea was intense thunderstorms. The snow from these storms block the multi-year sea ice, it does not thicken much.

In short, more like the Arctic coast of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts to be. It is turning into a maritime climate is stormy and largely free of ice during the winter.

These changes mean that there are now thousands of journeys per year in the Arctic.

The vast majority of ships in and out of the polar ocean made for specific journeys, according to Lawson Brigham, a polar expedition expert who teaches at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

“What we do not see – and what is covered in the media a lot – is a new way of global shipping.” Brigham says

says that it’s still not too much ice for it and the economy as a new route.

For now, shipping in the Arctic will be driven by two sectors: mining and tourism.

Of course, the reduction of ice is not just about shipping.

“To put it simply, two refrigerators are warming up. So if you are the ones that change affect the climate. It affects the ocean currents. It affects the species,” said Peter Harrison, who President of the International Polar Year Conference.

Arctic fishing moratorium needed, say scientists

Arctic fishing moratorium needed, say scientists

A group of more than 2,000 scientists from 67 countries for a moratorium on commercial fishing in the Arctic called, until further research on the waters that once were covered throughout the year on ice can be completed.

Scientists say the loss of permanent sea ice has opened up to 40 percent of the Arctic Ocean during the last few summers, and is therefore viable fishing industry for the first time.

But she said such activities should be banned until it can better understand the habitat and the sustainable catch quotas are set.

“The ability of the fish is not the same as with scientific information and management systems for fisheries management needs,” the scientists said in an open letter published Sunday by the U.S. Pew Environment Group.

“Canada should take the initiative to craft an international agreement to prevent the onset of industrial fishing.” Trevor Taylor, director of policy for the seas of northern Canada

The letter was published on Earth Day, as an important week of the conference in Montreal, started bringing the researchers, the impact of climate change in the Arctic to discuss.

More than 500 Canadian scientists signed an open letter

The scientists said the Arctic countries, the United States, Russia, Norway and Denmark belong, should work together to protect the ocean.

Even if the fishing industry still has not occurred in the northernmost part of the Arctic, said the group recently reported that the open waters could soon be a destination for fishing idustrial.

The scientists said they concerned a lack of regulation, it could be a target for large bottom trawls, in turn, stress on fish populations.

“is Atlantic Canada has the lead damage that unregulated fishing, experienced, even though 200 miles (320 km) border,” Trevor Taylor, Policy Director for Oceans Canada’s North, which is connected with the Pew Environment Group , said in a statement.

“Canada should take the initiative to craft an international agreement to prevent the onset of industrial fishing. This is to protect the environment and strengthen Canada’s Arctic sovereignty.”

The Day the Earth

42, on 22 April is not a birthday round for those who celebrate the annual event to raise awareness of environmental issues, but each approach in the recent past, the spirit of his The first Earth Day in the United States 1970 instead.

This is because, like its predecessor, the organizers of Earth Day activities this year was done by popular protests around the world inspired the choice of the slogan “mobilize the earth” as the theme for Earth Day 2012 .

“This year it was a lot of political activities all over the world – the Middle East to fill … movement,” said Kathleen Rogers, president of the Washington, DC-based Earth Day Network .

“For the year 2012, we felt we had to mobilize as a concept really critical, because people understand that they actually go on, can actually do something.”

Rogers Group works with thousands of organizations and governments in nearly 20 0 countries to promote and organize activities for Earth Day and environmental awareness to increase throughout the year. It was the group that organized the first Earth Day has developed and is still one of the founders of the movement, Denis Hayes , its Board of Directors. Inspired

founder Gaylord Nelson , a Democratic senator from Wisconsin who has earned a reputation as a passionate environmentalist during his two terms as Governor of the State, was struck by the passion driving the protest movement. He modeled the first Earth Day teach-in on anti-war activists who were held on college campuses to educate students about American involvement in the Vietnam War.

Nelson, who died in 2005, made the organizer and his companions environmental issues at the center of their “national teach-ins”, and there was a lot of focus on in 1970.

industrialization and urban sprawl, air pollution had been a problem in many large American cities, the harmful effects of DDT and other pesticides were also in the public consciousness since the 1962 publication of the seminal book Silent S pring by Rachel Carson , and two high-profile events in 1969, industrial pollution and its impact on the environment high on the

.

The two episodes were a blow-out on a Union Oil drilling platform off the coast of Santa Barbara, the 11.4 million gallons of oil were lost in the sea, angering Californians who saw the devastating effects on their beaches and have attracted marine life, and a focus on the heavily polluted Cuyahoga River at Cleveland, the attention has industrial waste that has had it for years, was canceled in the watercourse.

Hayes, who was the national coordinator of first Earth Day events in 1970 and is involved in Earth Day activities and the environmental movement.

“One of the main objectives of the workshop was to tie all these different strands of the environmental movement – people who were concerned about pesticides to fight the human highways, people, air pollution hated people who fear that the rivers have been caught on fire – they tie it all together with a bow and let them know that they are part of a coherent movement, “said Hayes, who now heads the Bullitt Foundation, a Seattle-based environmental organization

For this, the creation of Environmental Protection Agency is one and the adoption of the Clean Air Act in the same year, the adoption of the Clean Water Act in 1972 and the passage of Endangered Species Act of 1973.

“I would be hard to think that legislation in the last ten years, which begins to approximate the kinds of innovative things that we had in the period from 1970 to 1975,” said Hayes.

The environmental laws in 1970, passed in Canada, the Canada passed Water Act in 1970 and created a Department for the Environment in 1971 was revolutionary in part because the issues of environmental protection in the context of public health, Rogers says.

“The first Earth Day, the laws were all about the survival of the species – in the first place [hunters to make sure could] shoot – or protection of the area as a national park,” he said. “Earth Day 1970 is definitely the Maginot Line , who was there, and everything has crossed to the health and the people, not animals and shot, and parks. It’s all about the people become other. “

Although it is difficult to establish a direct line between the Earth’s day of the following decades, and substantial changes in environmental legislation, the day has remained as a factor in environmental education and awareness relevant.

“In 1990 he began the transition from focusing on large portions of federal legislation for the role of states and, more importantly, the community, and beyond that the individuals,” said Hayes. “The overall theme was:” Who says he can not save the world? “-. Trying to be rich, but to tell people that get this all just a matter of convention, some laws have to do this with your consumer choices, your decisions as to pass a car and house, your decision-owner. as parents, “

Nineteen-90 was also the year that the activities of Earth Day went global, expanding to more than 140 countries, including Canada.

Today, Earth Day Network regularly works with groups and governments in countries as far away as Oman, Morocco and Jamaica, the organization of environmental education in schools and help meet the locals, their unique environmental concerns.

each jurisdiction during Schneider’s Earth Day activities around the problems of this region, those who participate, says Rogers, see themselves as part of a “global public good of the environment.”

“The pollution in China is taking Los Angeles at 48 to 50 hours, depending on the winds,” he said. “People get what you are doing in Brazil affect our oxygen – my own or my children ‘- and link them to environmental protection prod ucts This is the big change significantly for the 21st century, we get what is happening around the world . “.

Enigma

In over 40 years, Earth Day is to not even dream with all sorts of things, the designers are associated. And while it has always taken a variety of activities from litter pick-up and the school composting programs for large urban congregations in recent years, been increasingly used as an excuse to display products or “greenwashing” companies and governments who sell otherwise not only for the environment. (China, despite his recent embrace of renewable energy and green technologies has an abysmal environmental record has issued a stamp in the annual Earth Day, for example).

Hayes, 67, is in Earth Day activities on the National Mall in Washington, 22 April this year to participate and says call “mobilize” the people are well.

“2000, a little ‘have much to my surprise, extremely division in environmental issues,” said Hayes.

The 21th century, says Hayes, is trying environmentalists pitted sound the alarm about climate change against those in industry and government is campaigning to minimize the threat to discredit science and protection of economic interests dependent on fossil fuels

“People are more in the way, have the political consequences if they committed to see it affecting them or their families” said Hayes. ” The people of the world’s future is concerned, but that’s kind of an abstract concept. “

Hayes says that’s changing as more and more people are beginning to understand that climate change is not on hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts and fires that occur in their communities

related efforts to mobilize public opinion to address climate change, planning some U.S. environmental groups, an important initiative in 2013 concerning the involvement of young people through social media and crowdsourcing ideas on green technology, renewable energy and other means to mitigate the base run factors that contribute to climate change.

The goal, says Hayes, the “creation is a huge public consensus-building exercise that will hopefully have some political consequences. “

” In a sense, is a spring climatic Arab, “Hayes said.” The weather was primarily a problem of Television. It is something that people preach to other people or to go in case of the film by Al Gore and offers a view movie, and you and look. But it is a kind of computer problem that you are involved and committed to do something themselves.
