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.
“Climate change” or as it’s sometimes called — summer.
8-11 degrees warmer in 30 years!
It must have been that damn pause
Teach do the math those examples you cited are an insignificant part of the total carbon pollution
Expecting anyone to be able to live a carbon neutral life is more likely to happen than it is for you to actually go tonIraq and fight either ISIS now, or Saddam in 14 years ago
LOL
At the next red light maybe retard can read the article.
I flew over this area going to Asia just a month ago, there is ice every where and extends down to North Korea.
Life is awesome when you are leftist royalty. You can go to the most beautiful places in the world using a false pretense to make little people pay for it, and have your sycophants, adoring press, and paid-for ‘experts’ support your sham trip and lies. Kerry’s arctic boondoggle is akin to kim Jong Un touring a sausage factory in NKor.
The Baltic Sea is the culprit here. Not global warming.
*sigh*
The world’s largest dead zone remains the Baltic Sea, whose bottom waters now lack oxygen year-round. What causes these dead zones in the oceans is runoff of fresh water from mainlands which are rich in fertilizers which have large quantitites of Nitrogen which depletes the oxygen in the surrounding waters.
One needs to understand the oceans off Norway in order to understand why the temperatures have been rising.
50 percent of the current reaching Norway are fed by the Baltic. The baltic is drastically rising in temperature because of fertilizer run off and the entire ocean becoming a dead zone due to the massive amounts of nitrates in the sea.
These Increasing temperatures have caused a decrease in sea ice, supplying the Norwegian Sea with greater amounts of freshwater and lowering the salinities overall.
This decrease in salinity could cause changes in the rate at which (Arctic) bottom water form. If the rate of the formation of (Arctic) bottom water is slowed, then the entire inward flow of the North Atlantic Drift to the Arctic Ocean may be slowed down.
If this North Atlantic sea drift is shut down which I predict is coming then we are headed for a receeding of warmer weather in Norway(because the water itself will move the warm drift more southerly.)
Hence the real culprit here is FERTILIZERS used in the areas surrounding the BALTIC SEA.
The entire coast of the USA is full of dead spots and the only real dead zone to ever recover was the DEAD SEA which recovered with the collapse of the Soviet Union which led to a VAST Ginormous reduction in fertilizer and pesticide usage.
The real dangers facing this world is not CO2 but rather fertlizers, pesticides and chemical agents along with the use of Bioengineering seeds designed to keep seed companies in business like Monsanto.
Teach:
Your position that since political opponents are not perfect, their arguments are flawed is a sophomoric debate tactic not taken seriously.
We assumed if you had a better argument you would have made it by now.
Although an ideal argument for the far right denialist, whining that global warming is a hoax unless every realist gives up every vestige of fossil fuel use is childish.
But most of your “arguments” are childish.
It’s equivalent to arguing that small government conservatism is fatally flawed until all conservatives give up all use of government resources.
