Riches Await as Earth's Icy North Melts-Summary

Summary:
Global warming will bring many changes to our world, many of which have a bad effect on our environment but still many people and countries will benefit from the ice melting of the poles and the article Riches Await as Earth's Icy North Melts written by Doug Mellgren raises this issue.
The ice in the North Pole is melting, which represents a real danger to our world but at the same time it’s unveiling the hidden treasures in its soil. It will also represent a revolution in maritime transport since it will be a shortcut for many ships; thus it will help to save money and time and simultaneously it’s a very good source for wealth for those who control the North Pole. Many oil companies all over the world regard this part of the world as the future for the petroleum industry. Arvid Jensen an oil specialist called oil a” driving force in the Arctic”
According to Arctic Climate Impact Assessment the opening of the North Pole to easy navigation will save a lot of time and money. The importance of the North Pole because of what it may represent after the melting of ice due to the global warming led to disputes between many countries who want to claim sovereignty over this place such as Canada and Denmark.
In conclusion, Doug Mellgren draws our attention to one important fact which is that people and countries neighbouring the North Pole want to have control over this part of the world but they tend to forget that there are people who actually live there and have always been there and they also have a major role to play.
Main idea:
The main idea is about countries like Canada and Denmark which are trying to control the North Pole for money and oil.
Comments: Countries are racing to control the North Pole just for money and they are forgetting the people who are living there; as there are positives like money there are also negative things like people and animals living there
