Ten thousand years of Arctic pack ice is melting away, opening up a
$30 trillion trade route and a dangerous arena for great power
confrontation. Putin is determined to make Russia’s slice of the
formerly frozen North matter, but China too sees itself as a Polar
power. Arthur Snell charts a vast and game-changing development
where climate change could upend the global balance of maritime
power. Could the struggle to control a newly-navigable Arctic Ocean
become the Great Game of the 21st Century? Support Doomsday Watch

a geopolitical opportunity, and Russia is determined to take
advantage.” – Arthur Snell “Planting a flag on the Arctic sea
floor marked a turning point for Putin. Russia was now determined
to be a great power on the move.” – Klaus Dodds “We’ve lost
three quarters of the Arctic’s pack ice in my lifetime.” – Ben
Saunders “The potential is absolutely there for an uncontrollable
hot conflict between Russia and NATO in the Arctic.” – Robert Clark
“Thanks to climate change the Arctic is effectively a new ocean
that China wants to control.” – Arthur Snell Photograph: Getty
