Arctic Circle May Become The New Suez Canal

David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the unintended “silver lining” of climate change: the opening of Arctic shipping routes. As the Panama and Suez Canals face increasing threats from drought and conflict, melting ice in the Arctic is creating new global shipping lanes. While some view it as an opportunity for geopolitical and economic gain—including figures like Donald Trump pursuing icebreakers—the editors caution this may lead to future restrictions and tensions over control, much like traditional shipping chokepoints.
