Sen. Bernie Sanders (D.-Vt.) says on the website for his presidential campaign that “[c]limate change is a global emergency” and “the Arctic is on fire.”
By contrast, the National Weather Service is reporting today that it is 45 degrees below zero in Nuiqsuit, which is in northern Alaska.
The weather service is predicting that the high today in that part of Alaska will be 44 degrees below zero and the low will be 47 degrees below zero.
“Climate change is a global emergency. The Amazon rainforest is burning, Greenland’s ice shelf is melting, and the Arctic is on fire,” Sanders says on his website.
“People across the country and the world are already experiencing the deadly consequences of our climate crisis, as extreme weather events like heat waves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes upend entire communities, ecosystems, economies, and ways of life, as well as endanger millions of lives,” says the website.

It was damn cold here in my part of Florida this morning.
My light winter coat is two feet away on the back my chair.
The Vindmans need a new assignment. Send them.
Hope you don’t lock up from the frigid air and are unable to reach it. As I recall living in FL for 24 years we usually left the taps running at 42 deg. LOL!
That will get him the envirowacko vote.
-44? I’m going to respectfully decline. My personal low is -27 with a -70 windchill. That’s enough for me, don’t feel the need to experience that (or worse) again.
Well, maybe not the Arctic, but Bernie’s hair is sure on fire.
Which is unfortunate, because he doesn’t have an awful lot of it left. He has spent years tearing at it.
I just spent several days down there. Had to have jeans and a jacket until I got almost to the Keys.
Before I pay 1 cent in additional taxes, would these Democrats please let me know when, in the history of mankind, man has managed to change the weather.
The American Midwest (Great Plains) has allegedly managed to prevent droughts, by planting “shelter belts”, or lines of trees approximately 1+ mile long and about 100 feet wide, staggered at the edge of property lines.
These “Shelter Belts” also provided land, food and environment for deer, pheasant, grouse, rabbits, squirrels and other wildlife - thus providing farmers game and a place to hunt - while simultaneously creating a windbreak, which encouraged more rainfall.
That’s one of the reasons attributed to why the Midwest hasn’t experienced a drought on the scale experienced in the “Dirty 30’s”.
Bernie’s pants are on fire.
Let me be more direct; the Midwest increased annual rainfall with the introduction of shelter belts - however, temperatures have remained relatively unaffected.
Mankind has never before managed to either make the weather hotter, or colder - as the weather is chaotic and significant contributors are outside man’s control (things like the Sun’s solar radiation output is NOT a constant), upper atmospheric winds, temperature of the ocean, speed and direction of oceanic currents, solar absorption of the land and waters, or humidity of the air.
By rights, they both should be busted down to 2nd Lt., then sent to the most unpleasant, remote post the DoD can find.
I have experienced -12 with -23 windchill and if I never feel temperatures that cold again, it will be too soon.
Not to mention the gulags, the reeducation camps, etc.
i didnt see the chris matthews rant but he clearly does not like Sanders as shown by this clip. Laughed at the way he was mocking Sanders saying Denmark...at least I think that is what he was doing

“Executions In Central Park”: MSNBC’s Matthews Warns Of Socialist Sanders ‘Dictatorship’ In Surreal Clip
We’re all going to die unless we vote for a democrat - wait, what? Sanders isn’t even a loathsome democrat?
The week before Christmas up in dead horse Alaska was -75*f before figuring windchill, which had winds up to 35mph. Real people work in that kind of weather.
On fire, hardly....
Lewiston, Montana - it was -40 windchill and I had to drive 3 hours to the airport in Billings. Imagine breaking down in that weather. It was 4am
