UPDATE 2-Obama pushes for more U.S. ice-breaking might in Arctic

"Ice breaking might."


President Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed a faster timetable for buying a new heavy icebreaker for the U.S. Arctic, where quickly melting sea ice has spurred more maritime traffic and the United States has fallen far behind Russian resources.

The move, part of a push to convince Americans to support Obama's plans to curb climate change, has long been urged by Arctic advocates as climate change opens up the region to more shipping, mining and oil drilling.

The announcement came as Obama heads to the coastal town of Seward, named after Secretary of State William Seward, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska in 1867 from Russia.

In the first step of Obama's new timetable, the government would buy a heavy icebreaker by 2020 instead of the previous goal of 2022. The United States used to have seven icebreakers, but the fleet has dwindled to three creaky vessels, only one of which is a heavy-duty vessel, the White House said.

"Russia, on the other hand, has 40 icebreakers and another 11 planned or under construction," it said.

So, the ice is clearly disappearing and the president orders ice breakers. Heavy duty ice breakers.

Well, under this fraud in the white house Alaska went from 7 to 3 leaky vessels? Russia has over 40?

Cops getting killed, isis running wild, stocks taking a shit, and the fraud is warning us about man bear pig.

Oddly enough, Polefka argues, icebreakers actually become more crucial in a warmer world. The Arctic's permanent sea ice is receding and being replaced by much more volatile seasonal ice.

"Today, winter sea ice now forms and recedes over a much larger proportion of the Arctic Ocean," Polefka notes. "In addition, loose icebergs and pack ice can be quickly transported long distances and jam into thick ridges and treacherous, hull-crushing floes."

The US only has two polar icebreakers. That's a problem if the Arctic keeps melting.

Currently, the US has limited capacity to move through this ice. The country's only functional heavy icebreaker — the US Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star — was commissioned in 1976, recently went through major repairs, and will likely only last until 2020 or so. Another heavy icebreaker, the Polar Sea, has been disabled and sitting in a Seattle port since 2010.* Both are past their originally intended lifespan. (There's also a smaller operational icebreaker, Healy, but that's mostly used for supporting scientific research.)

So...we done here?

Did Obama also bring up his position that America in total disregard to the human race
delibrately created global warming/climate change against the wishes of his beloved
Democrat party.How the Republicans stopped Democrats from preventing damage to the climate
because the goal of the GOP is to destroy the planet!

I'm just wondering.

No one who has lived in the arctic for a while has any doubt that the climate is undergoing a major shift.

Of course. He also renamed mountains and is doing some reality thing.

Meanwhile white cops keep dying on behalf of apes.

Oh, no wonder he order new ice cutters.

I thought the Sun was the culprit. That's the only thing that makes the Earth warm as far as I can tell.

If you had read the reply directly under your OP you would learn something, but no, you would rather keep sounding like a retard.

How many trips did Obama make during his time in office did he load everyone up on Airforce one
and fly all over the place so he could give a speech to hear himself talk.....
Burning up thouands and thousands of gallons of jet fuel.....

But that doesn't get mentioned all that much.

How many seperate trips between Obama and his Pookie....
He get's Airforce one and she get's her own ride.

I love all these Libs preaching about burning up fossil fuels and they are the worst offenders.

Price to fly on Air Force One - Business Insider

That's the president's job, if all he did was stay in DC you would bitch about that too.

Let me keep this simple for you as your thinking skills are non existent. The ice is breaking up and causing danger to navigation as large chunks now threaten shipping lanes , hence the need for ice breakers

No go back to "reading" your picture bible as that is more on your mental level

The move, part of a push to convince Americans to support Obama's plans to curb climate change,

Have the liberals found the slightest proof that man's activities are causing Global Warming/Cooling/Whatever?

Or that man can do anything at all to reverse it?

After 40-plus years of fibbing that it did and they could?

Uh . . . wrong. That isn't what ice-breakers are used for.

Being good friends with Jim Beam, I know that little pieces of ice melt faster than big ones
