Moskva 23. april 2010 (UPI) - En russisk videnskabsmand siger at Arktis bliver koldere, ikke varmere, hvilket hindrer den internationale kamp om at finde nye mineral felter.  En arktisk kuldeperiode, som begyndte i 1998, kunne vare ved i årevis og dermed tilfryse den nordlige søvej, så kun isbrydende skibe kan komme igennem, sagde Oleg Pokrovsky fra Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory.  "Jeg tror at udvinding på plateauet vil blive forbundet med store problemer," sagde Pokrovsky i torsdags ved et seminar angående polar regionerne.  Forskere, som tror at klimaet bliver varmere, kan være vildledt af data fra USA's meteorologiske stationer placeret i bebyggede områder, hvor kompakte mikroklimaer forårsager højere temperaturer, RIA Novosti citerede Pokrovsky.  "Politikere, som har satset på global opvarmning, risikerer en lang næse," sagde Pokrovsky.

MOSCOW, April 23 (UPI)—A Russian scientist says the Arctic may be getting colder, not warmer, which would hamper the international race to discover new mineral fields. An Arctic cold snap that began in 1998 could last for years, freezing the northern marine passage and making it impassable without icebreaking ships, said Oleg Pokrovsky of the Voeikov Main Geophysical Observatory. “I think the development of the shelf will face large problems,” Pokrovsky said Thursday at a seminar on research in the Polar regions. Scientists who believe the climate is warming may have been misled by data from U.S. meteorological stations located in urban areas, where dense microclimates creates higher temperatures, RIA Novosti quoted Pokrovsky as saying. “Politicians who placed their bets on global warming may lose the pot,” Pokrovsky said.
