Am I the only one who finds it incongruous that President Obama, when on a carefully choreographed trip to Alaska that highlighted global warming, announced the accelerated acquisition of ice breakers?
During his trip, he told Alaskans that by the end of this century, Alaska will see warming of between 6 and 12 degrees, which he explained: means more melting. Six to 12 degrees is a lot of warming, therefore, a lot of meltingwhich would seem to require fewer ice breakers not more.
I applaud the attempt to catch up, as Ive written previously, I think America is woefully behind in the arcticwhere Russia is increasingly aggressive. But you have to wonder what his speech writers were thinking to have him asking Congress to spend more on ice breakers on the same trip where hes predicting more warming.
Perhaps he really knows, what many scientists claim: arctic ice is growingwith updated NASA data showing polar sea ice is approximately 5 percent above the post-1979 (the year satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps) average. This, despite former Vice President Al Gores claim that the North Polar ice cap would be completely gone by now. In fact, according to the April 1896 edition of National Geographic, glaciers have been retreating in Alaska since George Washington was president.

Another thing surprised me about his trip. An AP report of Obamas Alaska visit states: every stop was elaborately staged to showcase the president in front of picture-perfect natural wonders.

What about the carbon footprint that 15 million illegals make in America, as well as the Muslims who are establishing their nation within America's borders?
We have the Republicrat head of this one party system remaining silent. How can we benefit from debating this evil cancer in order to open people's minds to the truth?
Love the picture!
“which would seem to require fewer ice breakers not more. “
When I first read this the other day I thought the same thing, if it’s warmer, there’s less ice, and should need fewer ice breakers. Then the article went on to Russia.
Point being, it’s an outright lie making zero sense in an effort to stand up to Russia.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
“We have the Republicrat head of this one party system remaining silent. How can we benefit from debating this evil cancer in order to open people’s minds to the truth?”......
With all his faults, we need someone like Trump to put a stop to all the madness the odumbo ilk has created over the past almost 7 years.
The bears are hiding. Only black lives matter..
warming of between 6 and 12 degrees,
Is this a new number? I had not heard this before. Any “journalists” ask him where he got it?
And I thought all the world’s global warming policies were only going to reduce the climate by less than 1 degree celsius?
“Save the baby humans!”
I talked with my 12 year old son about your Sun facts.
His response: That makes sense.
Good gravy!!!
This means that it will be fifteen below zero rather than thirty below zero!
Maybe.
Of course the polar bears want to “Save the humans”. The liberal socialist type humans are easy to catch, are unarmed and don’t put up a fight, and they taste like chicken!

I can't remember the last time I saw that expression. Can't remember the last time I used it either. :)
Smart boy!
