US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a first hand look Saturday at the way a warming climate is changing the Arctic, opening a once frozen region to competition for vast oil reserves.

So "climate change" opens up vast new oil reserves. And this is bad how??????? These climate change zealots just amaze me.

Our “world overlords” are really anxious to use “CLIMATE CHANGE” to rule...

Heavy ice could delay start of Shell Alaska’s Arctic drilling
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2888523/posts
Posted on Sun May 27

The heaviest polar ice in more than a decade could postpone the start of offshore oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean until the beginning of August, a delay of up to two weeks, Shell Alaska officials said.

Unveiling a newly refurbished ice-class rig that is poised to begin drilling two exploratory wells this summer in the Beaufort Sea, Shell executives said Friday that the unusually robust sea ice would further narrow what already is a tight window for operations. The company’s $4-billion program is designed to measure the extent of what could be the United States’ most important new inventory of oil and gas.

Sure, they take her up in June, right in the midst of the spring melt-off. They could’ve saved money and just taken her up to Yellowknife. “Look at these lakes. This is where the ice truckers were driving 4 months ago, but it’s all melting now. You’ve gotta help us!!!”

Of course, there’s not much room for an open bar and buffet tables in the cab of a truck, so I’m sure that a Norwegian “trawler” (read “luxury cruise boat” here) is more to their liking.

value of the Arctic's untapped oil alone -- not including natural gas and minerals -- at $900 trillion

Typo ? It's got to be 'billion', right ?

Did the biatch take a look at that tiny, tiny, area of the ANWR barren coastal plain where drilling is requested?

This is a complete load of crap.

It is scientifically meaningless to take a boat to some coastline to look for evidence of global warming.

Wherever you are you see what is there. That tells you nothing about what was there before, or what may have caused any changes that have occurred.

(Artic Council)....it is an election year...Hillary and John McCain flew to Alaska together 'for' their campaign efforts...facts about the Arctic were shaky at best....who gets the oil and who gets to drill for it could be why Ms. SofS is going...again.

Get the real story about climate change at the following web site. It has many great videos. I am enjoying my visits to this site. It's a great learning experience.

It’s the first part of June when the days are almost at the longest and in thr Artic that is when the Summer melt is at it’s fastest rate. I would be much more impressed if Clinton were to visit the Anartic next week to investigate “Global Frezzing” but then there would be no photo-Opt for lack of lighting.

This whole Arctic oil thing is a red herring to try to get us to vote for the Sea Treaty we turned down in the 80’s.

Having Hillary show up should slow down any warming. She’s as cold as it gets.
