President Barack Obama is painting a doomsday scenario for the Arctic and beyond if climate change isn't dealt with fast: entire nations submerged underwater, cities abandoned and refugees fleeing in droves as conflict breaks out across the globe.
It's a harrowing image of a future that Obama insists is inevitable unless the world follows his and America's lead by making sweeping cuts to greenhouse gases. Lest his sense of urgency get lost, Obama was to drive the message home on Tuesday by hiking a melting glacier in Alaska.
Obama is counting on Alaska's exquisite but deteriorating landscape to elicit a sense of urgency that his previous calls to action on climate change have not. He opened his three-day trip to the nation's largest state on Monday with a speech to an Arctic climate summit, calling global warming an escalating crisis already disturbing Alaskans' way of life.
"We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair," Obama said. Alluding ironically to the threat of rising seas, he castigated leaders who deny climate change as "increasingly alone — on their own shrinking island."

Obonzo knows just about as much about science as he does the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Nothing.
“OK President Obama. Since you are globetrottin,g warning us we are all going to die if we don’t fix this, what is the fix, how much is it going to cost and who pays for it? In addition, what happens if the scientists over-correct and we go into an ice age? What is the mitigation plan?”
The fact that no one even bothers to ask these questions is reason enough to assume globull warning is nothing more than a hoax, designed to wipe out America’s middle class.
Meanwhile, in the real world:
Sea ice could keep Shell away from the Arctic until mid July

What a crock of B.S., it’s really sad that many people will believe his tripe.
Arctic global warming research expedition put on hold – Too much ice

JULY 22, 2015
A carefully planned, 115-day scientific expedition on the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Amundsen has been put on hold as the vessel was called to help resupply ships navigate heavy ice on the eastern side of Hudson Bay....
Johnny Leclair, assistant commissioner for the Coast Guard, said Tuesday conditions in the area are the worst he’s seen in 20 years.
2008 article
Has it continued since then?
Zer0 is a masterful lying deceiver.
Was on the FR front page. That’s the only reason I linked it.
Yes, someone else posted an old article as current news.
<<< “We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair,” Obama said. >>>
Debt. Open border invasion. Weakened military. Over regulation. Marxism. Obama has indeed condemned our children.
Old article, but still, what kind on SUV's were they driving 250 years ago?
250 years ago the glaciers were growing.
Please recognize as well, glacier growth is not just a function of being very cold. Glaciers can grow BECAUSE it warmed up.
When it is very cold, the air contains little moisture. Glacier grow depends on enough snowfall. Warming up from 10°F to 25°F can often result in more snowfall.
Sea Ice is a better indication of temperature than glaciers.
Right. So when they began to shrink, was it caused by man?
Obozo is absolutely insane, but I guess it keeps the money flowing in.
No. The ending of the ice age has been a long process. There are areas in Anchorage where the Permafrost is still melting out.
