The northerly latitude and the presence of the Himalayan plateau are additional factors that influence the climate.<br /><br />There may be huge opportunities in Canada's north, yet we prefer to huddle near our southern border.Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-10438856387963707372016-09-09T12:21:55.834-04:002016-09-09T12:21:55.834-04:00Plus it is beautiful country and close to both Chi...Plus it is beautiful country and close to both China and the US (Alaska). <br /><br />There will be either a bridge or tunnel across the Bering Strait and Alaska and British Columbia will be affected positively by warming, too.

Communications is no longer an issue. The big issue is transportation and that is already being addressed through the New Silk Road.<br /><br />Huge opportunities are opening up there.
