As the ice melting is opening up new potentials for Arctic shipping but creates an uncertain future for this fragile environment, a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters suggests that this growth of trans-Arctic shipping and the subsequent increase in emissions may offset some of the overall warming trend in the Arctic by the end of the century.
Meanwhile, the study, written by UConn geographer Scott Stephenson and his colleagues, notes that this effect is relatively minor in the...
