CNN political analyst David Gergen said Wednesday that action to counter climate change has become a "moral imperative" as Hurricane Dorian inched its way up the East Coast.

During a discussion of a recent trip to Greenland on "CNN Newsroom," Gergen claimed U.S. cities should prepare for massive flooding if polar ice caps continue to melt.

“I went [to Greenland] thinking it was a practical imperative to deal with climate change. I came away feeling it’s a moral imperative," he said. "When you see what’s happening in Greenland, it is an early -- it's an early set of signals about what’s going to happen to the globe."

"The glaciers are retreating, they're breaking off and forming icebergs," he continued. "They’re beautiful icebergs, but they’re breaking up. There is a growing danger that the icecap will melt in Greenland and we’ll have -- there won’t be a big icecap in the summer... We could have cities in the United States engulfed in floods.”

There you go with all that pesky truth and scientific fact of the matter, there is no place for that concerning this topic. S/

[Huskrrrr]

They do know that ice decreases in volume as it melts, right?

[LIConFem]

Well, if a CNN AnalCyst says so, ...

[Huskrrrr]

Meant to say as water freezes it increases in volume. And vice versa.

So WHY did OBUNGHOLE buy a BEACH FRONT MANSION about 4 feet above sea level?

Gergle went to Greenland and found . . . summer and icebergs. OMG!!!

OK, Davey. Let's put our thinking caps on and work really hard. How did the Titanic sink? And where did it come from? Happens every season, Davey boy.

I'm an A.G.W. denier; but I would not use that analogy in a debate with a climate-change true believer. You’re simply making it too easy for them. First, you're ignoring the ice caps on solid land. Second, and more importantly, you're ignoring the fact that water expands, as it warms (from 4* C).

[Reily]

Gergen continues to demonstrate he is as dumb as a post!

[dfwgator]

OK, Davey. Let's put our thinking caps on and work really hard. How did the Titanic sink?

"It was the Jews.......Iceberg, Goldberg, Greenberg....what's the difference?"

Obama just bought a high-dollar mansion on Martha’s Vineyard, 200 feet from the ocean and a couple of feet above sea level. If he is not worried about rising sea levels neither am I.

[dsrtsage]

There is so much melting in Greenland that thousands of acres of old farmland are being exposed

[justa-hairyape]

We are at the end of an inter glacial. If we did not see evidence of warming, we would be in big trouble. Idiot.

[Popman]

I used to think Gerden was intelligent...

[Vince Ferrer]

She should be more afraid of rivers. They empty out into the ocean too, but there are a lot more of them. Millions of gallons a day, filling up the ocean.

[Political Junkie Too]

Meanwhile, didn't CNN recently spend millions of dollars building out their Times Square studios?

[gogulls]

JFC. There was a reason the place was called ‘Greenland’ originally

[RetiredTexasVet]

The real “moral imperative” is to ignore Climate Change Theorists like Gullible.

[neverevergiveup]

Didn't realize that Gergen was a scientist and climate expert..
Too bad he didn't pass on his wisdom to the Obama’s before they bought ocean front property in Martha's Vineyard.

[jmaroneps37]

If some promises this “melting ice cap” will take away CNN, I’m all for it.

[wildcard_redneck]

In other news Obama buys $15 million mansion right on the ocean shore.

I hope that every one of these lying grifters ends up in hell when they die.
