Riches await as earth’s icy north melts

Summary:

The global warming is the first enemy for the planet these days. The global warming happens because the gases keep the sun’s heat inside the atmosphere which increases the temperature in the planet. The North Pole will be affected from the heat because the scientists thought that the ice will melt in the North Pole after 100 years but with the global warming problem it will melt in 10 –15 years from now. An international race for oil, fish, and shipping routes is happening now because a lot of valuable resources are inside this place which makes it very important. The U.S Geological Survey estimates that it has as much as 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas. Shipping routes are the most important thing in this subject because if this ice melts that mean nothing will be there except water so many problems will be solved because it will save a lot of time and money. Canada, Russia, Denmark, and Norway are seeking to claim waters all the way up to the North Pole because as I said a lot of valuable resources are in that place and everybody wants it of course.

Main idea:

The ice in the North Pole is melting because of the global warming, and the countries near the pole are trying to get something from it, especially to get the oil which is there.

Opinion:

I saw a lot of articles about the global warming effects but this one is the most important one to me because it is about money and how the countries in the north are fighting for it. I know it’s very dangerous and we will lose many important things but if we will get money from it so it’s worth it.
