During the Bush administration terms tensions escalated between the U.S. and Canada over territory claims and the Northern sea passages given the fact that the Northern sea passages are melting.

Why escalating tensions over the melting Northern passages if global warming is not melting the Northern passages?

Like the economic crisis that had been collapsing but ended on a more violent note, global change is going to happen the same way with more violent weather changes, crop failures, and other unpleasant results.

Like the U.S. economy that was run off a cliff by the Bush administration and people "didn't know" until the economic collapse, the oil industry has run the health of our planet off a cliff and taken the human race with it too, we just "don't know" or see it yet.
