The most critical Arctic Issue is most probably the current anthropogenic climate change. It is believed that that the main cause of this is the greenhouse gas (ghg) emission and mostly the CO2 emission. It sounds simple, but the problem to solve is not. It is not just a question to how to cut down ghg and/or CO2 emission, but do we want it?
While there are organisation’s like the IPCC try to convince policy makers for the change, governments of major countries seems to be more interested to keep the emission level high to melt at least the summer ice on the arctic. This would make new shipping/trading routes for certain countries and would also give a chance to mine the natural gases and oil beneath the Arctic Ice.
Cutting ghg emission would be the 1st option to slow climate change, however it is not feasible for many countries. Major countries should join up and invest into climate/geoengineering. It is feasible already, and could cure many aspects of the problem. The public should receive information on climate change not from media, but from the scientists themselves.
