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 its a moral imperative," he said. "When you see whats happening in Greenland, it is an early -- it's an early set of signals about whats going to happen to the globe."
"The glaciers are retreating, they're breaking off and forming icebergs," he continued. "Theyre beautiful icebergs, but theyre breaking up. There is a growing danger that the icecap will melt in Greenland and well have -- there wont be a big icecap in the summer... We could have cities in the United States engulfed in floods.

I remember the day Clinton’s articles of impeachment passed the house. Woodruff and Shaw of CNN cried on camera. The first time I realized how deep CNN was in bed with the democrats.
The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.
Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level pausing, instead of rising
Ok, but what does this have to do with Trump and Russia?
Inverted hockey stick.
why is this a problem? we need to flush a lot of these coastal cities, particularly on US east and west coasts.
He still does. The jokes on him!
Guess that’s why the Obamas bought a $16 mil estate within a couple hundred feet of the water.
Damn we need to acquire Greenland. If the stupid Danes won’t sell it to us, we should find an excuse to declare war on them and their price for peace is to sign the deed.
A true liberal Dem told me in 1975-1976 that by the year 2000 Florida would be engulfed for miles inland permanently, and so would many Northeast and Pacific Coast cities due to melting ice caps. He was absolutely sure based on leftist articles he read. I said “We’ll see. I doubt it.”
And I never found it again but I clearly remember Al Gore saying really soon now (1990s) we will have the first of many “years without a winter.” The winter will be like early Fall in the entire northern region of the US.
Every time I have to scrape ice off the car I remember that.
Our best tactic is to stop all immigration. Moral imperative right? Oh yeah....they get to decide the solutions not us.
Manmade Global Communism is going to kill us all.
Won't happen. SF is a city of hills. You'd have to melt all the ice in the world to even make people notice that the water is rising.
Wasn’t the US supposed to be half flooded 10 years ago?
BTW, much to the chagrin of the demonrats, Mar a Lago is still intact.
And David Gurgle is such a climate expert. This is just warmed-over Al Gore bullshit.
Well, we will just file that with the ‘Polar bears are going extinct’ lie.
David Gergen, not half as smart as Goebbels but just as good a liar.
No wonder they named a pickle after him - small, shriveled, sour and smelly.
