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.

OMG! I can’t stand this turd!
$18.3 trillion in debt ... 6 months ago, when they stopped admitting to the debt
that debt is almost insurmountable for our future generations as is... and 0bama’s not done
Where’d you get that picture...I’d like to post it on Facebook and need to attribute to someone...thx...it’s great
10: FUBO, you are full of sh*t.
20: Take some science lessons instead of lying lessons.
30: Try getting and succeeding at a real job
40: FUBO
50: Go to 10
Obama is painting a doomsday scenario
*************
But he says nothing about our growing mountain of debt that will condemn our children to pay for the fiscal excesses of his administration.
“We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their repair”
I finally agree with Obama on something. Obama is definitely going to leave our country and our world with a problem which only God can solve.
Sounds like a trial balloon for the antichrist
I’m sure what terrifies Alaskans most is a slightly warmer climate.
OMG! I can’t stand this turd!
Worst ever!!, i’m still at a cross roads as to which one is more of a natural liar between Obama and Hillary.
He already condemned our children to a broken country beyond their repair.
well that’s a refeshing self-analysis of his presidency
It will take four GOP presidents to undo the damage 0bozo has done.
*************
Fewer if they are NOT GOP presidents. As we’ve painfully observed, the GOP will only preserve the status quo. We need a president under a third party that will implement conservative goals IMO. The GOP isn’t the answer.
lol. Yea from your taxing the hell out of them. Climate change will be the least of their worries.
That's because of the debt you've increased to nearly $20T, up from $8T when you took office. Out grandchildren will never be able to pay this off.
I really don’t see a third party candidate ever winning the presidency. All they’d do is split a party and the opposing one will win every time.
The marxists just want to control every thing so they menace us with imaginary threats so that we allow them to.Global warming is but one of those imaginary hobgoblins. See Mencken quote.
Thx
