Climate changes began in the 19th century with the advent of the industrial revolution. The usage of natural resources for years in the industry has significantly changed our climate. The governments expect the recent changes in the environment to lead to national security problems and increase the number of international conflicts. For many years, climatologists and researchers at the North and South Poles have already warned the public about the sharp melting of polar ice these changes will open new unexplored borders and access to precious natural resources in the Arctic. The Arctic contains 90 billion barrels of oil, 17 trillion cubic feet of gas, 44 billion barrels of liquefied gas, or 16%, 30% and 26% of the world's reserves of these materials. Respectively. These numbers ignite the struggle between countries to expand their control of these arid areas of the ice. Therefore, Russia invited China for partnership to form a strategic alliance to invest in the region’s wealth. This alliance will strengthen Russia against any western counter-alliance especially the alliance of the United States, Canada, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland. The melting ice in the Arctic opens up the shortest trade routes from Asia to Europe, which develops transportations and technological methods in the North Pole. The world will witness a significant strategic shift, as these great powers will concentrate their efforts in the region.
