Kerry visits Arctic Circle to see climate change impact
The secretery of state has made the health of oceans and combating climate change a priority.
By MATTHEW LEEThe Assoicated Press
NY-ALESUND, Norway — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday visited Norway’s extreme north, viewing areas where climate change has melted ice and opened new sea lanes.
Trailed by staff and journalists in small Zodiac-type inflatable boats, Kerry and Norway’s foreign minister motored in an Arctic scientific vessel from a research station in Ny-Alesund, the world’s northernmost civilian settlement. The short cruise took Kerry and his delegation across the iceberg strewn Kongsifjorden (King’s Bay Fjord), where puffins and other Arctic birds skirted the waters, to the Blomstrand Glacier.
The glacier has receded significantly in the past 25 years to 30 years, with summer temperatures that can now be 8 degrees and 11 degrees higher than they once were, according to Jan-Gunnar Winther, the director of the Norwegian Polar Institute, who guided Kerry and Foreign Minister Borge Brende.
“It’s stunning,” Kerry told reporters from aboard the vessel as it idled in front of the massive ice wall. “This is the center of change within the center of change.”

The Norwegians are screwing with him.
They put out a hula hoop and told Kerry it was the Arctic Circle.
Kerry said, “Smaller than I thought it would be.”
Back in my College Days, when the dining hall was closed for Sunday night, we would get burgers at the Arctic Circle Drive In.

Try smegma. It’s a better fit for him.

Bears gotta eat too!
LOL...yes I see it is a way better fit for him.

Fix up your State Dept first, before you consider expanding it to include the “planet’s health”.
Yea, but Kerry a la carte can’t be healthy for them. I thought we were trying to save them, not poison them. Maybe Kerry could be left with a certain brand of ketchup, add some flavor.
Notice how that big wall of ice is in the water, even though it’s June, well, guess how geologists define “ice age” - when ice is at sea level 24/7/365.
For less than a quarter of earth’s history, since there has been life on the planet, has this been the case.
Meaning, today is “cooler” than what it “normally” is.
Ice ages are not static. Within an ice age are cycles of “glaciations” where ice advances and retreats across the continents. This is seen in the geologic record as layers of moraine.
Our current ice age is 4 million years old. There have been 60 glaciations in that time. The last glaciation peak was wooly mammoth time, about 15k years ago.
You usually hear that that was the “end of the last ice age” but that is not correct. It was the end of the maximum extent of the last glaciation.
On average, it’s 66k years per cycle. 33k advancing, 33k retreating. If we are in an “average” cycle, that’d mean we’re currently 15k years into a 33k year glacial retreat. Note, none of this has anything to do w/industrial activity.
Northern sea lanes are indeed opening up. Russia is attempting to lay claim to it in order to control those lanes and for oil drilling. U.S. has been dealing w/northern countries on this issue for years now, but you probably haven’t heard about it. You’ve only heard about polar bears.
I thought he went to escape from his creator, Victor Frankenstein.
I see he is wearing a winter coat!
Note the glacier!
Paris accords hold the temperature change to 3.6 degrees temp.
Is there a giant thermostat that he and other will rotate now and then to keep the Earth at the ideal temp?
That is very advanced or retarded thinking.
Try visiting in the winter... For instance, it is now very close to the first day of winter in Antarctica. Why don’t you visit there and tell us the earth is warming.
“the Arctic Circle Drive In.”
LOL, I’ll bet that they had soft-serve ice cream, too.
Lest we forget, these rocket scientists claim this globaloney is an existential national threat, unlike radical Islam. And yep, the moronic American people elected them. Twice.
I hope he was wearing a Speedo
Why don’t we send him to Mars, so he can personally examine the melting of the Martian ice caps.
Throw him in the ocean. He’s a cold fish anyway.
