Commercial shipping in Northwest Passage no sure thing
Maybe Canadians are prematurely knotting their knickers (see here and here). The Northeast Passage is no sure thing either.

I did not check any of your links on this north west passage thing but if there is anyone out there that thinks it will ever become a major or even minor shipping route I would like to talk to them about a bridge I know about thats for sale.
Note that the graphic shows the extent of the ice in 2007. Not only will the prevailing winds continue to pile ice up on Canada's side of the Arctic Ocean, but the sea ice has also increased quite dramatically since its low point in 2007.
It seems the prediction that the North West Passage would open up was a tad premature.
the enviro hysteria will become louder, longer and more fraudulent as the cooling data cannot be hidden form the public domain for much longer.
