How profound............/s
Did he see any Russians? They want it.
Anyway to arrange a polar bear convention to coincide with his visit. Make that hungry polar bears.
So, he visited the north of Norway during the middle of June. Gee, I wonder if there was less snow and ice than as recently as 6 months ago? It’s the Climate Change!
Go to the Arctic regions in June and ask why there are no blizzards and ice forming? Idiot. No, not an idiot, an ideologue only trying to justify his lunatic ideas.
Visited during the height of the summer sun. Douche.
Why won’t he visit the Antarctic Circle in June?
He should been there six months ago.
Douche bag. Look up the meaning in the dictionary...Kerry pic would be next to it.
Did he bring his bikini?
A 1933 article on melting of the Artic was published as it had astonished fishing vessels who were able to transit through waters around the Bering Strait that were always thought to be permanently frozen.
But facts are not what Kerry and his band of climate change warriors have in mind.
I hope they left him there with a tent and weeks worth of food. Tell him they’ll pick him up in 6 months.
Watch he’ll end up in Cambodia.
Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.
From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.
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.

>>> The secretery of state has made the health of oceans and combating climate change a priority. <<<
Fix up your State Dept first, before you consider expanding it to include the “planet’s health”.
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.
