Our dimwitted excuse for a human being and president, thinks that making energy prices skyrocket will stop Alaskan glaciers from melting.
They have been melting for 250 years, and lost half their mass before Harry Truman left office.

Alaskan glaciers were receding eight feet per day before George Washington took office.
Obama is a know-nothing idiot with a big mouth and a desperate need to imagine he is saving the planet.
Right on!

They have been melting for 250 years, and lost half their mass before Harry Truman left office.

According to Deborah Kurtz, the physical science program manager for Kenai Fjords National Forest where Obama hiked Tuesday, the Exit Glacier, which flows from the Harding Icefield has retreated 800 feet since 2008, 187 in 2014 alone.
“Climate is the primary driver of ice loss,” she said, adding that Harding Icefield is 10% smaller than it was in 1950. She called what has been seen in recent years an “unprecedented rate of warming.”
