So here's the deal: I stumbled across this Reuters article about a Chinese freighter that basically said, “Forget the Suez, we're taking the Arctic shortcut.” And boom — delivery times to Europe got sliced ​​in half. Sounds cool, right? Except it's literally too cool, because the only reason this route is even open is global warming melting the ice. Yikes.In this mini we're talkingProfit over literally anything — because if there's money to be made, who cares if narwhals get evicted, amiright fellow billionaires?Russia's new ocean real estate — spoiler: every ship has to cruise through their backyard now.The “blue ocean event” — which sounds like a fun festival but is actually terrifying climate science.Cruise ships in the Arctic — because nothing says vacation like gray water and polar bears.Me trying to pronounce Felixstowe — turns out the Chinese port was easier. Go figure.It's part shipping news, part climate doom, part comedy of errors. Basically, if you've ever wanted to hear us laugh nervously while admitting we're all kinda screwed… this is your episode, plus pretty much every other episode.Source: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/chinese-freighter-halves-eu-delivery-time-maiden-arctic-voyage-uk-2025-10-14/
