Nothing like taking a long fossil fueled trip to complain
(ABC News) U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday visited Norway’s extreme north, viewing areas where climate change has melted ice and opened new sea lanes.
Trailed by staff and journalists in small Zodiac-type inflatable boats, Kerry and Norway’s foreign minister motored in an Arctic research vessel from a research station in Ny-Alesund, the world’s northernmost civilian settlement, across the iceberg strewn Kongsifjorden (King’s Bay Fjord) to the Blomstrand Glacier.
The glacier has receded significantly in the past 25 years to 30 years, with summer temperatures now 8 degrees and 11 degrees higher than they were, according to Jan-Gunnar Winther, the director of the Norwegian Polar Institute, who guided Kerry and Foreign Minister Borge Brende.
“It’s stunning,” Kerry said. “This is the center of change within the center of change.”
Well, yes, considering all the fossil fueled boats motoring out to see a glacier. And then Kerry took a fossil fueled trip to Denmark, followed by Greenland. It’s rather hard to take utter hypocrites seriously in their beliefs.
