It’s official!
The Global Warming has opened up the North East Passage between Russia and the North Pole and for the very first time can ordinary cargo ship sail the famous route between Europe and the Baring Strait. The development is almost uncanny, in the North East Passage, in the arctic, and also in Antarctica, where similar developments of melting ice are observed.
A group of scientists have sailed the cargo ship Kandalaksha from the Baring Strait to Kirkenes in Norway, confirming that the sailing time between Europe and Japan is now cut in half. They observations are supporting other observations of both satellites and people, that the ice has pulled back about 10 percent. The total ice mass, however, is reduced with more than 30 percent over the last 20 years.

According to a new UN Report, to be published in its entirety in September, The Earth’s Ecological systems are breaking down in an alarming rate, and will collapse if modern day human society continues on its present course. 175 scientists from all over the world, who have worked on the report during the last two years, are not drawing a pretty picture.
The situation has worsened in major ways the last few years. Half of the forests are gone. Two thirds of agriculture land is inpowerished. 70 percent of the fishing banks are taxed beyond sustainable levels. The Earth’s capacity to sustain any sort of lifeform is severely damaged. Humans have always moved on to the next area when one is unsustainable. This is no longer possible. If drastic measures are not taken, small and major ecosystem’s are facing a slow, inevitable collapse.

The Scandinavian Star Ferry sank ten years ago, killing hundreds of people, after what’s been described as criminal neglect, neglect by crew, the operating company and owners.
