Novas rotas Trans-Árticas

Abstract

At about the last thirty years many organizations, both official and independent, have warned the broad masses about climate change that are allegedly occurring on our planet.A careful analysis of the climate of the North Pole, describes us theevolution of the climate scenario that has caused declines in the amount of ice in the region, but the work continues and the fate of the frozen seas of the north is uncertain. There are majority two currents of scientific thought about the climatological behavior and future of the polar regions. In the first instance, the already widely disseminated, although not widely accepted anthropologic global warming theory predicts that an unprecedented rise in global temperature, especially in the Arctic. Those who have an antipodal thinking advocate the doctrine of global coolingor natural warming of the climate, not reallypopular among the laypublic, but not the least legitimate before the eyes of the scientific community. It is on theinterest of this monograph to exhibitboth linesof thought and analyze the economic opportunity that will make itself availableto the worldwide maritime market if global warming proves the most correct theoryand maritime routes open up in a matter of fact, to be exploited profitablyboth in sea market freight as on theindustryof oil and gas exploration. The author finds useful to highlightthepoint thatan approach considering the scenario of global cooling, even if reasonably possible, is safe for the amendmentsassociated to the study of the economic behavior of shipping businesses ends and for display of the challenges faced by vessels seeking in the extreme north of the planet their new field of action.
