Obama and his people are absolutely shameless liars.
According to Deborah Kurtz, the physical science program manager for Kenai Fjords National Park 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.”
One of the most photographed men in the world again wielded an iPhone on Tuesday to snap some pictures himself.
“It is spectacular,” he said at Exit. “We want to make sure that our grandkids can see this.”

The glacier retreated 187 feet in 2014, which was the average rate from 1894-1899, and 60% of the rate from 1914-1917. In other words, glacial retreat has slowed considerably over the last 100 years. Deborah Kurtz is lying.

Alaska has cooled 0.1 degrees since 1977, which Kurtz calls “unprecedented warming.” Again, Deborah Kurtz is lying.

So we have a National Park Service Employee committing fraud, and a moron narcissist president who imagines he can stop a two hundred year old process from continuing, by shutting down power plants.
Mz Kurtz was in a difficult position. She is a government employee and she had been handed a script to read to her boss. She had two choices, read the script or jump off the glacier.
CO2 and Sea-Levels have tracked consistently for the past 2,000 years. The recent 38% spike in CO2 from 290 ppm (in 1880) to 400 ppm at present (2015) has not had a validated measurable influence on Sea-Level rise by any metric available, and will provide an uncomfortable inconvenience at the Paris Climate talks.
The small fraction of a percentage decrease in CO2 resulting from imposition of EPA’s horrendously costly power company regulation will be unmeasurable insofar as Sea-Levels are concerned – another uncomfortable inconvenience!!!
Barrow is clearly an outlier in the data you present. Do you have an explanation?
I’m still waiting to hear from the experts if this is truly the everlasting inter-glacial and why they think it is so…
These slimewads are the most devious and dangerous criminals to have ever plagued mankind!
I can’t help but agree with your assessment of POTUS. A narcissist. A fool. He’ll say anything. Who knows what he really thinks.
Does he think ?
Unlike many glacial terrains where cooling trends reduce summer melting, bringing on glacial advances, the Kenai Fjords glaciers move forward when warmer weather brings moisture-laden storms to the coast. Air is rapidly forced over the abrupt mountains and drops copious snowfall onto the Harding Icefield.

So is Resident Obama now confirming it is getting cooler?
Changes in magnetic susceptibility (MS), organic-matter content (OM), and biogenic silica (BSi), record environmental changes since ~9500 BP. Goat Lake is situated ~450 m north of a drainage divide at ~70 m above lake level that separates the lake basin from the Harding Icefield (HIF) outlet glacier. Sediment analyses focused on the last 1000 yr; this interval includes a sharp transition from gyttja to overlying inorganic mud at ~1660 AD, which marks the first time since the Pleistocene deglaciation that the North Goat Outlet Glacier (NGO) of the HIF overtopped the drainage divide to spill meltwater into Goat Lake. One 14C age of ~1470 AD from a subfossil log buried by till in the NGO valley requires ~145 yr for the outlet glacier to have thickened 150 m to the elevation of the drainage divide where it remained until ~1890 AD. Since ~1890, the NGO has thinned 150 m and retreated 1.4 km, back to where it was in 1470 AD.

O talks glaciers and the world he claims we are creating.
Meanwhile the world he’s actually created looks like this:
