Obama in Alaska: "We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their repair"
Daily Mail ^ | September 1, 2015 | AP

President Barack Obama is painting a doomsday scenario for the Arctic and beyond if climate change isn't dealt with fast: entire nations submerged underwater, cities abandoned and refugees fleeing in droves as conflict breaks out across the globe.

It's a harrowing image of a future that Obama insists is inevitable unless the world follows his and America's lead by making sweeping cuts to greenhouse gases.

Lest his sense of urgency get lost, Obama was to drive the message home on Tuesday by hiking a melting glacier in Alaska.

Obama is counting on Alaska's exquisite but deteriorating landscape to elicit a sense of urgency that his previous calls to action on climate change have not.

He opened his three-day trip to the nation's largest state on Monday with a speech to an Arctic climate summit, calling global warming an escalating crisis already disturbing Alaskans' way of life.

'We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair,' Obama said. Alluding ironically to the threat of rising seas, he castigated leaders who deny climate change as 'increasingly alone - on their own shrinking island.'

Meanwhile, amid concerns that the U.S. has ceded influence to Russia in strategic Arctic waters, the White House announced Tuesday that it would ask Congress to speed up construction of new icebreakers to protect U.S. interests and natural resources. The U.S. currently has two working icebreakers, compared to Russia's 40.

Obama wants to give Iran nukes because Obama wants Iran to use suitcase nukes against us in the USA.

Arctic global warming research expedition put on hold – Too much ice
http://iceagenow.info/2015/07/arctic-global-warming-research-expedition-put-on-hold-too-much-ice/
JULY 22, 2015

A carefully planned, 115-day scientific expedition on the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Amundsen has been put on hold as the vessel was called to help resupply ships navigate heavy ice on the eastern side of Hudson Bay....

Johnny Leclair, assistant commissioner for the Coast Guard, said Tuesday conditions in the area are the worst he’s seen in 20 years.

Obama - always campaigning, always organizing, always rallying against local government in favor of world-wide tyranny.

It’s what he does.

Alaskans need to “get some skin in the game” with Obonzo and demand that the state use the permanent dividend fund to help save “da enviomen” rather than send everyone a check every year.
