"
To the world's military leaders, the debate over climate change is long over. They are preparing for a new kind of Cold War in the Arctic, anticipating that rising temperatures there will open up a treasure trove of resources, long-dreamed-of sea lanes and a slew of potential conflicts."

Fox news started with that? I must be drunk. Who spiked my coffee?

What and confirm your statis as a denier? Better to just go about your business LB saying nothing and be thought of as a bit of a twitty-weird, but charming duck relative to scientific understanding.
