Obama's in Denial, no wait....in Denali

This morning, the media hype for president Obama's trip to Alaska is in full bloom.  The AP calls the trip "historic" since it is the first trip by a president to the Arctic portions of Alaska.  Get that?  It's not the first presidential trip to Alaska; that was long ago.  It's just the first trip to parts of Alaska that are usually covered with snow and ice.  How historic!  By the AP's logic, if Obama uses the bathroom in one of the places he visits, it will be historic since no other US president has ever done that before.  Other news stories are spread across the media telling us all that Obama's visit will highlight the "ravages" wrought to Alaska by global warming.  Ravages?  Do they ever think about what they are writing?  There are no ravages.  Some aspects of climate have changed as there was warming until the mid 1990s (but not since them), but that is hardly a ravage.  Think of it this way: for a long, long time, Florida was hit by hurricanes almost every year.  Now, for a decade or so, no severe storms have hit that state.  Is that one of the ravages of climate change?  Across America the number of tornados has been at all time lows for the last three years.  Is that one of the ravages of climate change?  Remember, severe weather events like hurricanes and tornados were inevitably going to rise according to the global warming crowd.  Instead, they almost disappeared as temperatures held steady.  So they were off by more than a bit.

Obama's response to all the data that now shows that there really is no global warming and certainly no man made global warming, is to travel on his plane to Alaska to highlight global warming.  That's the plane that spews all sorts of what the global warming crowd calls carbon pollution.  In Obama's view, it's fine if he has an enormous carbon footprint; the rules he wants to impose will only apply to the little people, not him.

Obama is in denial about global warming.  It really doesn't exist and he can't accept reality.
