The Empirical evidence would state otherwise, ships have begun to use the Northwest Passage. https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/shippi ... ly-triples |

llama66 llama66: The Empirical evidence would state otherwise, ships have begun to use the Northwest Passage. https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/shippi ... ly-triples The actual data shows that ship traffic in the NWP is still very rare. https://map.astd.is/share/ea58baecfc69 The other thing to be considered is that there's more going on in the Arctic these days than back in 1990. Most of the ship traffic is government vessels going north to study global warming and it would appear that they're using their own research activities as 'proof' that there's more traffic in the Arctic. |

Thanos Thanos: Have these generals been fired yet for speaking in a manner contrary to official administration policy? Meh, they just won't get promoted is all. Terminal rank is the operational phrase for some of these people. |

BartSimpson BartSimpson: llama66 llama66: The Empirical evidence would state otherwise, ships have begun to use the Northwest Passage. https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/shippi ... ly-triples The actual data shows that ship traffic in the NWP is still very rare. https://map.astd.is/share/ea58baecfc69 The other thing to be considered is that there's more going on in the Arctic these days than back in 1990. Maritime traffic in the Canadian Arctic has exploded in the last 30 years: $1: Nonetheless, preliminary federal data shows the Arctic is indeed opening to more ships: the number of voyages through the federally monitored area reached an all-time high in 2018, up more than 400 per cent during the past three-and-a-half decades. Bulk carriers, tankers, tug boats, cargo ships, fishing boats, cruise ships and even personal yachts all contributed to the rise in traffic, which has coincided with increased economic diversification in Nunavut. Mining, for example, now accounts for 21.5 per cent of the territory’s economy, up from less than four per cent a decade ago, according to the rating agency DBRS Ltd. https://business.financialpost.com/comm ... -the-north BartSimpson BartSimpson: Most of the ship traffic is government vessels going north to study global warming and it would appear that they're using their own research activities as 'proof' that there's more traffic in the Arctic. Not entirely true - now you've got huge tankers, freighters and even cruise ships like the Crystal Serenity in the Arctic in the summer months. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ ... ommunities |

The sea ice coverage in the Arctic *right now* is right on par with where it was in 1981. https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2019/02/

That round dark spot of ice was likely very thick. |
