Scientists have issued warnings about the potential threat of ancient “zombie viruses” emerging from the Arctic permafrost due to climate change, posing the risk of a new pandemic. Known as Methuselah microbes, these dormant diseases are found in the permafrost across Canada, Siberia, and Alaska, covering a significant portion of the northern hemisphere. Climate change has accelerated... 

So this is why the West is becoming more and more mentally handicapped, schizophrenic, feminist and estrogenic with each and every passing single day! Just like we said it in the past, the West is being poisoned! Microscopic pieces of plastic have been discovered in the most remote locations, from the depths of the ocean to Arctic ice. But these microplastics are also entering our bodies, from the... 

US Troops in the Arctic A new US Army report paints the picture of a dark and chaotic future because of “climate change”, with power and water shortages, refugee crises – but also more opportunities for US military intervention around the world. Behind the dull title “Implications of climate change for the US Army”, a 52-page report by a team of scientists outlines apocalyptic scenarios caused... 

Amendments to Russia’s Maritime Doctrine approved by President Putin stem from NATO’s “eastward expansion”, said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. He added that the new doctrine focuses on Russia’s naval presence in Crimea and the Arctic. The main reasons for adopting amendments to Russia’s maritime doctrine of 2001 are “the changes of international affairs” and the consolidation... 

The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’ Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change. But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that,...

Russia is planning to deploy nuclear ballistic missile submarines to the southern seas for the first time since a 20-year break that followed the collapse of the USSR, sources told Russian media. Starting from 2014, Russia is going to expand its strategic... 

Opposite phenomena were detected by satellites of the U.S. space agency. The study was the first to calculate the total thickness of sea ice in the Southern Ocean from space. NASA indicates that between 1978 and 2010, the extent of the Antarctic grew by 17 square kilometers each year but this growth rate is not as great as the decline in the Arctic. The satellites of the U.S. space agency showed two... 

The traffic of commercial, private and fishing ships has increased enormously since the ice cover has been getting thinner. A recent study has revealed that the amount of plastic debris and litter piled up on the Arctic Ocean’s seabed has doubled in the past ten years. German researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research studied more than 2,000 photographs of the Arctic... 

An ozone hole five times the size of California opened over the Arctic this spring, matching ozone loss over Antarctica for the first time on record, scientists said today. The white line marks the area within which chemical ozone destruction takes place Hole in the sky: Europe, Canada and Russia at risk as continent-sized ‘second hole’ in ozone layer opens over the Arctic. The ozone loss... 

Russian Flag on Lomonosov Ridge Arctic Seabed Late last week, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent four days in the Arctic. Flying around military bases in the northern provinces of Canada Nunavut, Yukon and Northwest Territories has become a tradition over the years of his stay in power. The current Prime Minister has been in power for six years, and for the sixth time he appeared in the Arctic.... 

Melting of the polar ice cap has made Arctic resources more accessible. WikiLeak cables show fears that Arctic resources rivalry could lead to military conflict between Nato and Russia. The US government has signalled a new determination to assert its role in Arctic oil and gas exploration by sending secretary of state Hillary Clinton and other ministers to a summit of the region’s powers for...
