Its a tad more complex then that. Recent years showed massive melting compared to others. The critical piece missing form that statement however is that prior years were below average.
He's not wrong though, our climate IS changing. He attributes much of it to being man made (and I agree), but thats only part of it.
Again a complex topic that way too many here want to over simplify. But to be fair, in this case he started it by also over simplifying the topic.
Why does he forget to mention that years ago the center of the US was under water and the climate more tropical? Does he ever mention that the Sahara desert used to be under water and subtropical? Just a few facts that don't match with his chicken little narrative.
But its mildly misleading, as prior years had below average melts.
Repeat after me, "Climate is not local"
We can't make claims on local events, and not give validity to deniers who cherry pick data that way. Its a invitation to nonsense. Focus on world temps, not local temps at one glacier.
Ver true and a fair point it's only Alaska but it is not without other evidence worldwide, glaciers and artic ice are very significant.
Why does he forget to mention that years ago the center of the US was under water and the climate more tropical? Does he ever mention that the Sahara desert used to be under water and subtropical? Just a few facts that don't match with his chicken little narrative.
Sigh. because those facts are also mostly irrelevant.
You do realize that the continents have moved together and apart several times which has changed the climate and they are moving toward each other again. And when they move together again, it is predicted that it will destroy human life on this planet.
I would be more inclined to believe Obama was actually concerned about climate change if he would quit burning tons of jet fuel getting to places to make political speeches.
Everything Obama claims about climate change is a lie, so why are we surprised?
Come to think of it, everything Obama claims as helping the US is a lie. After all, he is the liar in chief.
You must not be well educated on climate science. Every credible scientific organization in the world asserts that, based on thousands of studies, humans are warming the Earth.
Actually, the data shows it's warming faster than originally expected. The Earth will be fine but we do need to adjust to account for its impact on our society.
It's best to just ignore Obama. You can't trust a liar and he is not trustworthy.
He's worse than Hillary and thank god he's got about 1 year to go.
Life's to short to listen to Obama spout more lies.
