You forgot one major factor the Arctic will face in the future and that is the Geopolitical repercussions an open and accessible Arctic will have. You have many nations now attempting to assert their sovereignty in the North, with many territorial disputes still unsettled. This could lead to a militarization of the Arctic as countries try to secure their land and maritime territories. We are already starting to see it with the massive Russian military expansion in the Arctic, as well as US and Canadian procurement of new naval assets for Arctic patrol and control. Overall great video though!
Dunno, I personally like the more serious tone of this video. Obviously, I'm not saying that all puns and jokes should go away, just that I'd prefer less than what's usual

The rise in temperatures in the Arctic in 2018 was part of a global phenomenon. Across the world last summer there was incredibly high temperatures - particularly in Europe, US and Japan - which is still having knock-on affects today (for example, in the UK we experienced 51 days with no rain in some areas which has meant crops have been lost). This year I expect it to be lower, but of course over time it will gradually rise. You can tell 2018 was an anomaly in the data from your graph at the start of the video comparing Arctic temperatures from 2013, it rose to a much higher temperature at a much higher rate than the last few years.
Videos on global warming are a dime a dozen, but I knew I could count on this channel being original and informative. This video took a look at an element of global warming that I had _never_ thought of, but one that is equally as important as the usual topics of discussion. And what a great title!

Which is made possible by: Computer Models. Unfortunately, few people understand how easy it is to manipulate statistics and their own emotions. Even after every prediction they make is a flop, from the polar cap ice disappearing entirely over a decade ago, to talks of a global flood, to the ozone layer being gone.... Even if they're wrong every time, about everything, and nowhere close to right, they still adore the big lie.
ah finally who calls it what it is, instead of "climate change". P.S. culture and genes matter. should we keep financing low IQ people to breed? no. we should not. resources are limited. emissions quotas are limited. land area and individual liberty that depends on it, is limited.
In Greenland they are currently discussing the making of a giant international airport to make cheaper flights possible, but it is projected to cost about a third of their GDP.
If China is “helping them“ then Greenland will get screwed. China’s one belt one road initiative is a scam to let china take control of other countries infrastructure.
Here in Russia, Arctic is also important since the Northeast Passage provides much shorter routs for ships to get from China and Korea to Europe. Shorter means cheaper, and we have built the hugest ice-breakers navy for that purpose. Giving way to the foreign trade ships is a nice way of earning money btw.

To make it more easier for you, I’ve been to both Paris and Istanbul and those two are literally two different stories in terms of temperature. Istanbul is boiling hot in the summer while Paris in general is more cloudy and cold compared to Istanbul. Believe me, it is a big difference in 1 year.
Wendover, you are truly legendary. I’ve never seen any other channel than you include references. You don’t only include sources, but references inside the video. As a Wikipedian who loves to see a shit ton of references, THANK YOU!
I discovered your channel today and I'm just blown away by the quality, thorough research and the fact you take the time to add your sources in the description. This is the new gold standard on youtube. I tip my hat to you and your production team. Awesome work.
One of the biggest changes for the locals is a much shorter snowmobile season which is their favorite way to get around because there are few roads. But when it snows, they can snowmobile any place they want.
In Lapland sun literally never sets in the summer. Should not be too hard to sell that to the same tourists which visit in December. Also beautiful arctic nature and wildlife. Hotels and other tourist industries are already in place. As a Finn, I know a summer week might be only 8C and rain and mosquitos. But that's mostly in June. Real summer usually begins in July :). Last summer Finland experienced a record of 63 days over our local limit of heatwave (25C) in a row. That lead to some finns thinking of moving to Antarctica...
This may sound weird, but I've had a bucket-list destination of Lapland, Finland for over a decade, aiming for a spring/summer time, rather than winter. The mountain lakes and forest I saw in some image years ago was positively breathtaking!
The references are extremely impressive. It gives you credibility surpassing any other channel I know - with extremely easy inspection of each reference.
I am surprised that you didn't mention Northeast Passage rapid development. It is possible that in the near future transportation between Europe and East will be carried out this way. How about this? How this will affect Arctic?
Yap. I am kinda angry that he was talking only about some limited tourism and preaching global warming. C'mon man, there has to be more positive side to it.
The most interesting thing I found about that graph in the beginning is how in the colder times, the edges of the graph on the left and right, are much higher than average, but the 'warmer' times in the center are (slightly) lower than average, when I'd think they'd be much higher
I super appreciate the references that you include in your videos. It really adds a level of professionalism that most other videos just don't have/do.
Just so nice to see that type of content on your channel. As a French student I'm writting a Master's degree Thesis about the Canadian Arctic economic growth, and all you say in this video is just high quality! Of course, I understand you gotta simplify many things, otherwise your video would last hours haha. Nice job man!
Been watching your channel for years, this was one of the most well made, most informative and well presented once ive seen. No one talks about how economic benefits are encouraging climate change. Everyone needs to see this. Keep up the good videos.

Hello from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories! I subscribed to your channel first from your videos regarding aircraft & flight traffic, but it is amazing to see you cover Arctic economics! I think you do a solid job in covering multiple angles to a topic - using statistics often in your videos & not asserting a position prior - thank you for that! I would be very interested in a video comparing Arctic nations' policies in mining/industry (both present and future) .... I would be very intrigued!
I hadn't thought about all these implication of global warming , mostly how it opens news paths for ships to go through. The world is slowly but definitely changing... Impressive video, thank you for this insight !
I once heard a feature about Iceland's digital economy. Cheap real estate and electricity (and the fact that cooling is easier) make Iceland an interesting location for putting large serverfarms. Now Iceland is just outside the Arctic Circle and locations within it might not have the volcanic benefits to power generation but the fact that there is a LOT of space might be an important resource in itself.
Iceland has had some facinating economic transitions! In the past 10-15 years it's had one of the fastest transitions to a tourism economy of probably any country. I didn't include Iceland in this video since, for one, almost all of it is outside the Arctic circle and also that there's so much to talk about that I've considered doing a whole other video on it.

Maybe the income from tourism and ship docking could replace incomes from fishing and help the local fish species? I guess thats just one of the few positives in the sea of negatives
It should be noted that from summer into early autumn Air Iceland flies from Reykjavík to Nuuk, Kulusuk, Ilulissat and Narsarsuaq and they usually don't fly to Kangerlussuaq
Great video, as always! So we drill for oil, messing up the climate so the arctic melts and the first thing we want to do is go there to drill for more oil... interesting species we are, eh?
That tourism bit was pretty pointless and a weird sector to start with. It's the new resources and shipping corridors and all the geo-politics that are getting involved. Including tourism for the sake of being more comprehensive detracts from that.
Your transition from the topic to the ad is smooth as fuck. That shows another way of your professionalism apart from your very obvious good work you do on your videos. I and many others encourage you to keep going.
0:11 You say that as if there are any serious people who believe climate change is fake or somehow untrue. Whether caused by humans or not, everyone knows it's changing.
@@RedLeader327 I think you're referring to the ppl who believe climate change is being leveraged by powerful interests to promote a longterm agenda of economic tyranny and control, while pumping millions of dollars into funding for biased research that supports their "sky is falling, tax the carbon" slant. And I mean, it's not hard to verify that loads of climate data has been deliberately falsified by sellout scientists, damaging the reputation of the entire field. It's not exactly _wrong_ to react with some skepticism. That stuff raises a lot of questions if your brain is on. Edit: grammar.
Visiting the Arctic to snowmobile and do photography is a great idea for people who have the means! We just need electric or nuclear powered cruise ships so we don’t spoil the pristine Arctic environment!
Your stance is that global warming is bad. You say you need a plane or cruise to visit the arctic, and you recommend visiting the arctic. But visiting would contribute to climate change...
Super interesting to here you talk about Nunavut since I am in there working. The larger cruise ships are super concerning.. There is insufficient capacity to rescue these ships as mentioned. Use at your own risk...
Great video, loved the slowly increasing temperature on the arctic circle and the cruise ship analogy. I like HAI but i prefer these longer more detailed videos that must've took a lot of work, and i respect the referencing as people nowadays sometimes just quote a figure or present a fact without actually referencing things and it leads to misinformation
Not sure when people canceled their Lapland trips because of lack of snow. Christmas was snowy at least. Early December being snowless is the new norm in Finland.
I very much believe in global warming but can someone explain how 2 degrees makes a difference? If it was 4 degrees one. Year and 6 the next it doesn’t make such a difference, as long as the temperature is below freezing it’s fine right?
Even 2 degree change affects amount of ice melting/appearing in polar regions, which changes ocean level. As additional effect, higher temperatures make for very unstable weather, with hurricanes and tornadoes, can make certain areas no longer usable for agriculture, or even for living. According to prognosis, some areas at Middle East will become too hot for human life in the future.
Pro-capitalists never cease to amaze me; instead of thinking how we are going to solve the problems that climate change will pose (whether man-made or natural), they always try looking at the positive economic/profit making side of things. We definitely live in an era of ill-oriented optimism.
@@Drumsgoon It´s not about becoming rich, it´s about priorities. We might be entering an era of dramatic changes which themselves don´t care about our financial gains; it is about a true economic problem looming in the distance, an economic problem about the probable scarcity of the resources necessary for human life, not about the lack of money. You have to begin dissociating money from economics. There might be lots of money around but little in the manner of food and other necessary commodities.
@Charlie K You should also begin realizing that such a change means altering the balance of the whole world as we know it, and this is true without claiming man-made global warming. Whatever the reason behind it, we have to think about honestly addressing the issues these natural phenomena will bring.

the amount of work that went into this is astonishing
Whatever area wendover touches there are flights mentioned somewhere
Ending line was really good Sam!
Maybe the income from tourism and ship docking could replace incomes from fishing and help the local fish species? I guess thats just one of the few positives in the sea of negatives
It will also lower food costs as cruise ships or cargo ships could bring food there for cheaper then normal.
It should be noted that from summer into early autumn Air Iceland flies from Reykjavík to Nuuk, Kulusuk, Ilulissat and Narsarsuaq and they usually don't fly to Kangerlussuaq
Yea... this video gave me anxiety...
First world problems....

@@dougontheotherchannel3078 Are you that dense? How is the meaning of that phrase lost on you?
Real Life Lore and Wendover upload around the same time.
YES!
Please don't take away our arctic!
Great video, as always!
So we drill for oil, messing up the climate so the arctic melts and the first thing we want to do is go there to drill for more oil... interesting species we are, eh?
its nice that mother nature is allowing some warming to visit the arctic
So I can see the Northern Lights without being as cold? Count me in.
Fact : Whatever Wendover Productions choose to talk about, it'll include planes, airports and DESTINATIONS...
What about Russia?
What a dumbass right
@@thugnificent9143 Да
No mention to USA's withdrawal of Paris Agreement whatsoever and that fact is a KEY to this mess.
Sam it's Too-ee not T U I. Just letting you know.
You're getting really good at these
why use that map tho! that is NOT what Greenland looks like 🙄
@Matthew Remley But it is. He specifically talks about how small the economy is for its size while presenting a very inaccurate map.
I'm a simple man. I see a wendover production's video, i hit like.
That tourism bit was pretty pointless and a weird sector to start with. It's the new resources and shipping corridors and all the geo-politics that are getting involved. Including tourism for the sake of being more comprehensive detracts from that.
It's because it's the one negative he could think of. And it's emotional for those poor souvenir shop owners :'(
Your transition from the topic to the ad is smooth as fuck. That shows another way of your professionalism apart from your very obvious good work you do on your videos. I and many others encourage you to keep going.
So, by using oil, we're making the environment hotter, so we can get more oil, so we can make the environment hotter?
Ain't that some shit.
Like the nerdiness when you use Kelvin in the Temperature scale
"The only positive note to end on" is making money while destroying the arctic? Was that a joke?
If it's all going to shit anyways you may as well get a piece of the pie.
Three pros of all your videos... Fantastic Research, Great Video Editing, and Clear Explanation.
0:11 You say that as if there are any serious people who believe climate change is fake or somehow untrue. Whether caused by humans or not, everyone knows it's changing.
There are. Don't overestimate people's intelligence
Jezza just scroll down through the comments and you will be surprised... unfortunately there are still people living in the 19th century
You'll be surprised that people still believe the earth is flat
There are people that genuinely think it’s a hoax.
@@RedLeader327 I think you're referring to the ppl who believe climate change is being leveraged by powerful interests to promote a longterm agenda of economic tyranny and control, while pumping millions of dollars into funding for biased research that supports their "sky is falling, tax the carbon" slant.
And I mean, it's not hard to verify that loads of climate data has been deliberately falsified by sellout scientists, damaging the reputation of the entire field.
It's not exactly _wrong_ to react with some skepticism. That stuff raises a lot of questions if your brain is on.
Edit: grammar.
I can't stop watching your videos man
Funny how the more we use oil, the more accessible arctic oil becomes making it even more accessible.
Then it'll run out and cause World War III.

10:15 “The arctic is home to four million people” 4,0000,000 loool. Great video though
Visiting the Arctic to snowmobile and do photography is a great idea for people who have the means!
We just need electric or nuclear powered cruise ships so we don’t spoil the pristine Arctic environment!
And then one wrecks and the mess is even worse
Your stance is that global warming is bad. You say you need a plane or cruise to visit the arctic, and you recommend visiting the arctic.
But visiting would contribute to climate change...
The plane is gonna fly whether or not he's on board
Super interesting to here you talk about Nunavut since I am in there working. The larger cruise ships are super concerning.. There is insufficient capacity to rescue these ships as mentioned. Use at your own risk...
So what I'm hearing is that global warming is good
Great video, loved the slowly increasing temperature on the arctic circle and the cruise ship analogy. I like HAI but i prefer these longer more detailed videos that must've took a lot of work, and i respect the referencing as people nowadays sometimes just quote a figure or present a fact without actually referencing things and it leads to misinformation
But it snowed yesterday, check mate global warming.
You're so edgy...
coming as a tourist to see snow in the artic is highly ironic
you are the best youtuber when it comes to general knowledge
Not sure when people canceled their Lapland trips because of lack of snow. Christmas was snowy at least. Early December being snowless is the new norm in Finland.
I very much believe in global warming but can someone explain how 2 degrees makes a difference? If it was 4 degrees one. Year and 6 the next it doesn’t make such a difference, as long as the temperature is below freezing it’s fine right?
Here's a good article that explains: www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-report-half-degree.html
Wendover Productions thanks for responding so quickly!
Do keep in mind we're talking about a global average. Some areas see a much more significant change
Imagine earth as a very big room, to raise 2 degree in a very big room require a huge amount of heat.
Even 2 degree change affects amount of ice melting/appearing in polar regions, which changes ocean level. As additional effect, higher temperatures make for very unstable weather, with hurricanes and tornadoes, can make certain areas no longer usable for agriculture, or even for living.
According to prognosis, some areas at Middle East will become too hot for human life in the future.
Never look down on yourself. Your content is the sort of thing that belongs in youtube red.
Keep up the informative videos my dude.
Pro-capitalists never cease to amaze me; instead of thinking how we are going to solve the problems that climate change will pose (whether man-made or natural), they always try looking at the positive economic/profit making side of things. We definitely live in an era of ill-oriented optimism.
How horrible the poor people in the Arctic get a change to become rich!
More of a " *Oil*-oriented optimism"
@@Drumsgoon It´s not about becoming rich, it´s about priorities. We might be entering an era of dramatic changes which themselves don´t care about our financial gains; it is about a true economic problem looming in the distance, an economic problem about the probable scarcity of the resources necessary for human life, not about the lack of money. You have to begin dissociating money from economics. There might be lots of money around but little in the manner of food and other necessary commodities.
@Leonardo Bautista: I'm interested to hear what definition you use of "pro-capitalist."
@Charlie K You should also begin realizing that such a change means altering the balance of the whole world as we know it, and this is true without claiming man-made global warming. Whatever the reason behind it, we have to think about honestly addressing the issues these natural phenomena will bring.
More videos should follow this citing sources format. TH-cam should make it a feature
getting warm... very nice, economic growth and tech development taking to a better quality of life.
Global warming isn’t all bad for everyone, more land in Russia and Canada will become arable and inhabitable
Thats right, but when the war for ressources will have destroyed society as we know it, we will all be fucked big time
*habitable
