Not likely, but Canada is sending warships to protect its "territorial sovereignty", a worthless rock called Hans Island in the Arctic. What is interesting in all of this is not Hans Island, but "that global warming is causing the rapid melting of the ice across the Arctic, and that could make the legendary North-West Passage linking the Atlantic and the Pacific passable for ships for the first time." This has global repercussions, and competition between those countries that border the Arctic could become problematic in the coming decades as each of those countries seeks to explore what natural resources could be up there.
The next world war will be over energy, because most people can't be bothered with conservation. Just look at the "Energy Bill" of the bushwhacked gops that was recently passed.
