WASHINGTON – Sen. Barbara Boxer is heading north this weekend – way north – to Greenland with a bipartisan delegation of senators to see firsthand the effects of global warming.
<...snip...>
Accompanying Boxer on the trip will be Democratic senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin of Maryland, Bill Nelson of Florida, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. Republican senators are Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Bob Corker of Tennessee. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont also will attend. Richard Alley of Penn State University, the lead author on the United States Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be the scientific advisor on the trip.

That is a long way to go. They’ll emit some serious carbon getting there and back. Making it a one way trip will lessen the impact though.
Leave her there.
Maybe she can have an up-close-and-personal encounter with a polar bear!
Will they show her the ruins of viking settlements there who populated the area from around 1,000 AD when it was warmer and the colony died when it got cold again? Was it SUV’s that caused that earlier warming? Of course not. What a waste of time and taxpayer money.
Good thing Obama ain’t on the plane, or Hillary might arrange for a lil “accident.”
Does Senator Boxer know how “Greenland” got it’s name?
Eight Senators, plus spouses, plus staff members, plus media, plus IPCC advisors.
WTF? Who is going to pay for their carbon credits?
Seriously, what is it that they need from this “on-site” visit that they cannot get from reports or video. If they really need a firsthand view of events, they should head to Iraq and inspect the aftermath of a suicide bomb.
To Senator Boxer
Things to do in Greenland:
Find out from the locals, why it’s called “Green”...land.
Thanks in advance.
Don’t let ‘inconvenient truths’ get in the way of Sen Boxer and her merry band of global warming fearmongers. As more and more scientists run away from the global warming bandwagon, the politicians and global warming opportunists will only shout louder and louder. Just because the Vikings were able to live on Greenland 1000 years ago doesn’t mean the poor polar bears of today are not in danger from our awful internal combustion engines.
OK. Good news. Now. How can we make sure her passport to RETURN is revoked?
Barbara Boxer is out to prove that receding glaciers and global warming are a bigger threat to mankind than al-Qaeda or Muslim terrorists. On the other hand, she might just find bin Laden in a glacial cave.
Hitlery and McCain took this trip twice either last year or the year before.
I see it as their escape from reporters so they can brainstorm some real partisan damage.
Don’t these “smart people” realize that 600 years ago ... Greenland was green? I guess you can’t fix stupid.
She doesn’t know how SHE got her name!
These worthless clowns should stay there.
