Melting Arctic Ice Allow Ships To Travel Across North Pole Region

Douglas McIntyre and David Callaway, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss the rapid rise in Arctic shipping as ice melts along the North Pole. With 2,000 transits expected this year — up from just a handful a decade ago — the region is becoming a global shipping corridor. Callaway highlights the far-reaching business, military, and geopolitical consequences of the new route, as countries including Russia, the U.S., China, and Canada scramble for influence in the Arctic. The melting ice, once a barrier, is now accelerating a global power shift.
