    IIRC, The Netherlands is constructing floating housing to deal with the rising tides and sea levels. This does not currently extend to buildings yet. But, overall, a kind of proactive approach seeing that their reclaimed land is below sea level.

    Well it looks like the Northeast passage is finally ice free from the Russian weather service:

    The strong, warm, west wind from the low appears to be clearing out the scattered ice foes in the gap to the polar ice cap. Also the channels between the islands and the Russian coast appear to be clearing. We'll know more tomorrow.

    For global warming, this is the "Moon Landing", the first serious, non-Russian transit of the Northeast passage. I have no doubt the climate deniers will 'poo-poo' the first but it becomes a lot harder after the:
    • 2nd
    • 5th
    • 10th
    • 20th
    • 50th
    • 100th
    Like the Chinese water torture . . . drip, drip, drip.

    First modern trip through northwest passage was in 1903

    Like the atlantic navigation of the vikings during the medeaval warm period to their colony in america, changing climates allow for new routes.

    This is no moon landing, its just a cheaper way to ship.
