英国《卫报》日前刊文称,极地或许是地球上最后一片未经开发的地域,蕴藏着储量巨大的油气资源。据美国地质勘探局测算,北极圈内的石油储量可达4120亿桶,约占世界未探明储量的13%,而天然气储量约占世界未探明储量的30%。气候变化使北极的升温速度达到地球其他地区的两倍。冰层消融,让这里的资源看似触手可及。 A recent article by the British “Guardian” said that the polar region may be the last unexplored region on Earth and contains huge reserves of oil and gas resources. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the oil reserves in the Arctic Circle reach 4120 billion barrels, accounting for about 13% of the world’s unexplored reserves, which account for about 30% of the world’s unexplored reserves. Climate change has brought the Arctic warming up to twice the rate of the rest of the planet. Ice melting, so that the resources here seems to be within reach.
