An expert examination of the way climate change is transforming the
Arctic environmentally, economically, and geopolitically, and how
the challenges of that transformation should be met. A growing
number of scientists estimate that there will be no summer ice in
the Arctic by as soon as 2013. Are we approaching the "End of the
Arctic?" as journalist Ed Struzik asked in 1992, or fully entering
the "Age of the Arctic," as Arctic expert Oran Young predicted in
1986? Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom: The Geopolitics of Climate Change
in the Arctic looks at the uncertainty at the top of the world as
the shrinking of the polar ice cap opens up new sea lanes and the
vast hydrocarbon riches of the Arctic seafloor to commercial
development and creates environmental disasters for Arctic biota
and indigenous peoples. Arctic Doom, Arctic Boom explores the
geopolitics of the Arctic from a historical as well as a
contemporary perspective, showing how the warming of the Earth is
transforming our very conception of the Arctic. In addition to
addressing economic and environmental issues, the book also
considers the vital strategic role of the region in our nation's
defenses.
