Washington (AFP) - Secretary of State John Kerry will visit the Arctic Circle next week for key ministerial talks on climate change amid global concerns about rising seas and accelerating ice melt.
Global warming is happening twice as fast in the Arctic than elsewhere on the planet and many fear not only devastating impacts of warming but also from an influx of people and industry on the pristine environment, wildlife and Inuit culture.
Kerry will attend a meeting of the Arctic Council in the northwestern Canadian town of Iqaluit, on Baffin Island.
The United States on April 24 formally takes over the two-year rotating membership of the intergovernmental forum -- comprising countries with territory within the Arctic -- Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United States.
The body aims to promote cooperation on environmental protection, as well as to help govern oil and mineral exploitation, shipping, tourism and fishing.

He had better wear his snuggies, as AGW is a hoax.
Maybe he ought to look into all the Russian naval assets that are laying claim to the area.

How’s he getting there? Dogsled?
Or private jet airplane?
(Curious if he takes this nonsense seriously, or is just another poseur.)
BTW...Baffin Island is in north-EASTERN Canada.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Kerry lost his way and ended up in the wrong part of the country? Like the north pole? It would be Christmas and get seared...seared into his memory.
Watch him show up in a fur hat, Eskimo parka, and expensive designer sunglasses.
Hey, maybe “that other site” was Infowars. :-)
It was a GOP website, but I was too conservative for them and got kicked off! LOL!
It was all romney’s fault.
“Global warming is happening twice as fast in the Arctic than elsewhere on the planet”
Then how can it be called ‘global’ warming if it’s just one region ?
Springtime!
Okay....There is a reason for this...it's called the youth vote and our youth are constantly being clobbered with absurd data and predictions. They wear green shirts to school but those same kids have some kind of non recyclable sneaker.
When Gore started this climate sh**, I remember Hillary saying "This is how we can get our youth involved".
And that's what it's all about....the youth vote.
A note to Hillary....No one wants their grandmother for President.
That is one of the best screen names! Is it true?
So The Thing From Another World is going back to the Arctic.
>> That is one of the best screen names!
Mine? Or his?
Wouldn’t it be cool if he got marooned in the Arctic...when the days were only 30 minutes long.
