Date:
25th August, 2020
Subject: Monthly Rate Inquiry
Dear Sir / Madam,
I signed up for your internet service in February last year and am happy with thebandwidth and connection speed. However, when I checked my credit card statements forthis month and the last two months, I noticed that you have been billing me for $45 insteadof the flat rate of $30 per month that I signed up for. I would like to know the reasons forthis extra charge and, since internet banking will only allow me to view up to two paststatements, I would also like to know when you started charging me the higher rate.
I had you send me a new Wi-Fi router in December last year to replace the original faulty
router. Has that had some effect on costs?
Thank you,
Scott West問 14

Arctic Development
The Arctic is a polar region located at the northernmost part of the Earth consistingof the Arctic Ocean and the seas surrounding it as well as parts of the so-called Arctic
nations, namely, Canada, Finland, Denmark (Greenland), Iceland, Norway, Russia,
Sweden, and the United States (Alaska). It has a unique ecosystem: the majority of its
land is tundra which is covered with snow and ice. Deep in the Arctic land there exists
permanently frozen underground ice called permafrost.
In recent years, Arctic development has become one of the major global issues facedby the international community for several reasons. First, because there are ecologicalconcerns such as global warming and environmental damage to the Arctic’s ecosystem.
Research data shows that the white ice blanket of the Arctic has been rapidly diminishing
due to global warming. In addition, the Arctic’s permafrost contains high concentrationsof methane which is an extremely harmful gas that exacerbates the greenhouse effectwhen released into the atmosphere. In other words, the melting of Arctic ice is aggravating
the problem of global warming.
Second, increased human activity in the Arctic poses new threats to the ecologicalconditions of the region. Scientists have already observed some irreversible changes in
the habitats of polar bears, walruses, seals, and migratory birds caused by increased
human activity in the region. Environmentalists and local activists also worry about oil
spills which are almost impossible to clean up in the remote waters of the Arctic Ocean
due to the high concentration of sea ice and icebergs.
Third, the attention of the international community towards Arctic development has
increased due to the growing strategic importance of the region. The Arctic is extremelyrich in natural resources: its 8.2 million square miles of land holds an estimated 13 percentof the world’s undiscovered oil and 30 percent of undiscovered gas. The Arctic also haslarge deposits of nickel, copper, zinc, and other minerals. Among the Arctic nations,
Russia alone has minerals in its Western Siberian Basin worth of $2 trillion (U.S.). The
melting of Arctic ice stimulates the activity of oil and gas, shipping, and other industries
as the Arctic waters gradually become more navigable. It also opens opportunities for thedevelopment of new fisheries.
In fact, shipping and energy activities in the region have increased in recent years.
Accelerated melting of the Arctic Ocean ice has opened new sea lanes to shipping andtourism in summer. The overall route on Russia’s side of the Arctic between North Capeand the Bering Strait has been called the Northeast Passage, similar to the Northwest
Passage on Canada’s side. It is estimated that the Northeast Passage can shorten the sea
route from Europe to Asia by 4000 miles and, if the polar ice melting continues, it will
also likely be completely navigable in the future.
Strategic importance of the Arctic raises many territorial claims over its jurisdiction.
Currently, no country owns the geographic North Pole or the Arctic Ocean surrounding
it. The Arctic nations are granted jurisdiction only over 200 nautical miles of exclusive
economic zones (EEZ) off their coasts as stipulated by the United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). However, some Arctic nations are conducting various
investigations of their continental shelves in order to justify claims of up to 350 miles.
