Obama's Alaska
Global Warming Field Trip

"Study the past if you would divine the future." - Confucius
President Obama told some whoppers the size of Mt. McKinley (I mean
Denali) about global warming while he was here in Alaska.
At a climate change conference in Anchorage, Obama attempted to scare
the long-johns off Alaskans he obviously thinks are stupid when he
predicted coming "submerged countries, abandoned cities... entire
industries of people who can't practice their livelihoods, desperate
refugees seeking the sanctuary of nations not their own, and political
disruptions that could trigger multiple conflicts around the globe."
Honestly, it sounded like he was describing the effects of his policies
thus far, but I won't go there.
But then, the strangest thing happened. It was as if the planet's
Creator laughed at all that nonsensical hot air rising. Temperatures
dropped and it snowed. A lovely summer snow, dusting the mountaintops,
reminding those with common sense who's really in control. Not us. If I
were him, I would've taken the hint, loaded up my eight ton
gas-guzzling armored "Beast" and headed back to the Oval Office to deal
with more important things like the Chinese Warships spotted off
Alaska's coast while he was sightseeing.
I guess we should ignore that back in May, NASA said global warming
isn't causing polar ice retreat. In fact, NASA's satellites revealed
the planet's "polar ice caps have not receded at all since the
satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979," says
Forbes.com. That is, if you want to believe NASA.
I suppose we should also overlook Obama's war on the Trans-Alaska
pipeline. One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to see Obama's
killing the Alaska oil pipeline by slow bleed, currently pumping
500,000 barrels per day -- versus 2.2 million, years back. Might he
care more about ANWR's caribou than he does about Alaskans considering
most of Alaska's state revenue comes from the oil industry?
I can't help but wonder if Obama would've even visited if he really
believed his own hysterical hype. The millions of dollars spent and
carbon footprint wasted just so he could check a box on his bucket list
to climb a glacier. If he believed his hype, why'd he order better
Coastguard ice-cutters...
