Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice

efuzzyone writes "As an affect of global warming, the polar ice caps seem to be slowly receding, what do you do? The NYT reports it is a gold rush, 'the Arctic is undergoing nothing less than a great rush for virgin territory and natural resources worth hundreds of billions of dollars.' Also, 'polar thaw is also starting to unlock other treasures: lucrative shipping routes, perhaps even the storied Northwest Passage; new cruise ship destinations; and important commercial fisheries.'"

    Clinton's administration is different than Democrats in congress. Just look at the current major split betweeen replublicans, and the insurrection lead by John McCain. I don't believe it would be fair to claim Bush and McCain as one unified entity, just as I don't believe it would be fair to say the same thing about congress during the Republican revolution, and Clinton's administration.
