Reindeer starving in Arctic as ice piles on top of snow
Fox News ^ | 12/10/2019 | Frank Miles

Reindeer in the Swedish arctic are facing food supply shortages and going hungry, thanks to climate change.

“If we don’t find better areas for them where they can graze and find food, then the reindeers will starve to death,” Niila Inga said.

His indigenous community herds about 8,000 reindeer year-round, moving them between traditional grazing grounds in the high mountains bordering Norway in the summer and the forests farther east in the winter, The Associated Press reported.

The reindeer already have been pressured by the mining and forestry industry, and other developments that encroach on grazing land. Now, their food is trapped under a thick layer of ice. The food is still there, but the reindeer can’t reach it. The animals grow weaker and females sometimes abort their calves while the survivors struggle to make it through the winter. …

Love it. I remember when Levin read the list on his show, it took two commercial breaks.

"Hopefully something is done to procure some hay"

Eustace Haney of Haney Hay & Feed of Hooterville has the answer.

*For just a small fee, we can deliver the highest quality of hay seen in these parts to anywhere over the horizon. Some shipping charges may apply.

I heard a new one today: climate melting.

Because all the other names weren't scaring the populace sufficiently.

We’re supposed to believe global warming is causing the cold and ice that threatened the reindeer. What kind of a moron would believe that?

This is so dam sad....that it's on the other side of the world and I'm not shooting them to make me some Rudolph jerky for Christmas gifts! Don't let them starve to death, kill them and eat them. Letting good meat go to waste so they can whine on how global warming is creating so much heat that their food is freezing over.

Sounds like a line from Oh Suzanna! Call it Oh Poor Greta

My name is Greta Thunberg, and I'm an angry teenage Swede
I come to chew you ass out from far across the sea
I went to the UN. Stupid tried and true.
With socialist intention by screaming "How dare you!!"
The reindeer all are dying, no Christmas this year.
The sun so hot, their food froze up.Santa ate his deer!

Oh you Americans you're disgrace so I'm told
For being a clean country, while the 3rd world pollutes the globe!

First, holy shit there is ice and snow in the winter and it's because of climate change and they just figured this out. Next they will discover that because of the Earths rotation and it's elliptical orbit around that thing called the Sun the climate changes in different parts of the Earth at different times of the year.

Secondly why am I not surprised that these Gaia worshipers are upset about Reindeer aborting their babies while applauding humans aborting their babies.

I thought Chernobyl irradiated the lichens in Scandinavia making the reindeer radioactive?

checked this out. There are about 70,000 Sami of which abt 10% still herd reindeer, which has been discouraged by Sweden until recently. Last year the community sued the EU claiming damage from climate change and complaining about Sweden’s logging and mining industry. The EU turned down their claim, which they appealed. This week, the EU is supposed to release their EU Green deal. Getting in the news is likely part of trying to influence the EU Commission to win their appeal. (I’m guessing there is no American-type reservation, they just herd where they want. Are they laying claim, or expecting the EU to uphold the claim against a large part of arctic Sweden) ?
