oh, joy, the more the merrier

The story behind this breaking news is pretty funny. The source from which I took it was billing it as Britain jumping into the fray with Russia, and everybody else, in the Arctic and I started to fall for it... until that pesky little prefix in the actual article started boring a hole in my brain and I was forced to amend my post quickly!

I'm uncertain whether to call it the Cold Cold War, the Hot Cold War or Cold War II or what... but as long as I can figure a way to keep them from further endangering polar critters, this is very promising news.
A spokesman for Greenpeace called the move "colossally irresponsible" and accused the British government of putting more effort into securing future oil rights than battling climate change.
Tee hee, those humorless environmentalists! Of course they're putting more effort into securing oil rights. Duh! If everybody gets really cranky about who has dibs on the unfreezing goodies on the North and South Poles, they can busy themselves posturing for each other, loot their own treasuries without having to slaughter innocents, while real adults get together to solve the CO₂ problem behind their greed-hunched backs!

This is my plan. Since no one will stop them, just divert them.... They may even want that by now....
