However, the opening of new trade routes in the Arctic will reduce the value of the remaining sea trade routes in the “warm seas”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first time in the history of mankind, trade between the countries\nof the northern hemisphere will take place directly between them and without\nthe non-interference of third countries that have previously controlled sea\npassages. It depends of course which country will control the Arctic first or\nwhether the Arctic will not belong to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the second main reason (apart from the competition of economic development\nbetween the major countries-powers of the\nplanet) that the specific big countries-forces of the planet do\nnot care to implement and adhere to environmental measures in order to reverse\nthe phenomenon of Global warming and climate change in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The future geopolitical developments in the rest of the world<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If the problem in the north and south frozen ocean is melting ice in other\nparts of the world the effects of climate change alters face. In the Middle\nEast region, the lack of water and the reduction of the level of the water\nresources and rivers will become increasingly the cause of more frequent\ntensions that will reach the point of war conflicts between the countries of\nthe region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In sub-Saharan Africa, The Great Green Wall of the Sahara Desert, developed\nby the countries of Central and Southern Sahara Africa, which starts from the\nAfrican shores of the Red Sea and ends to the shores of Africa in the Atlantic\nOcean, is trying to stop the extending of the desert to the south, creating development\nconditions for the economies of these countries. (For more information on the\ngeopolitical importance of The Great Green Wall of the Sahara Desert, you\nshould read the analysis titled \u00abThe Deficient\nGrowth that creates the Great Green Wall of Sahara Desert\u00bb category:\nGeopolitics subcategory: Africa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem of desertification in Sudan and Mali (North West Africa), which simultaneously creates food crises, causes local conflicts about who will control food and water that evolve into civil wars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The increase in Ocean levels also create food crises in the Horn of Africa (includes the countries of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia) due to the expanding erosions of the coasts and the underground water aquifer making it salty for any drinking water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All these food crises and water shortages caused by climate change in\nAfrica will, on a regular basis, force the movement of large population flows\ninitially towards North Africa and then towards Europe in search of a better\nfuture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, in northern Europe, in South Asia, in Siberia, in\nAustralia and in South America, the increase in the period of rainfall shortage\nwill result in a drastic decline, due to disasters, in agricultural production.\nThe drought and water scarcity will further increase the risk of uncontrolled\nand huge fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deforestation will lead to more devastating floods, in terms of intensity\nand duration, all year round. Increasing the global warming will facilitate the\nspread of infectious diseases and epidemics worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All these new problems-threats combined with the changes that are made on\nan economic level and generally in the global capitalist system create new\nfuture data that will change the shape of our planet in relation to how we know\nit today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanos S.
