Deeply Concerned Chris Matthews Fears Climate Change Will 'Create Trade Routes Across the Arctic Circle!'
Appearing on fellow MSNBCer Ed Schultz's radio show yesterday, Chris Matthews waxed apocalyptic about what he believes will be a dire consequence of climate change.
Matthews told Schultz of an unidentified friend in Alaska, presumably not Sarah Palin, who warned him of what's to come from warming temperatures (audio) --
And to say there's no issue with climate? You know, a friend of mine is talking about, she lives up in Alaska, she says we're going to be able to, maybe this is good for shipping, we're going to start having trade routes across the Arctic Circle! We're going to start having, you know what I mean?, people are going to be going to Norway in boats and we're going to have shipping lines doing it. Don't tell me we don't have a climate thing going on. There's something strange going on.
Yikes, trade routes through the Arctic! Next thing you know there'll be commerce, profits! Worse still ... boats going to Norway. Oh the humanity ...
Just what would an allegedly unfortunate outbreak of capitalism in the Far North resemble? A May 2009 National Geographic article titled "Arctic Landgrab" described the "former fishing town" in Hammerfest, Norway, home to the world's northernmost liquefied natural gas facility, Snohvit --
... I expect to see the start of production -- but it is a false start, one of many. The gas field is in the Barents Sea, 800 feet underwater, connected by 90 miles of pipes to an ultramodern plant. The plant, on a grassy island abutting the beautiful 9,400-person town, is northern Norway's largest ever industrial project. Viewed from the Hammerfest shopping mall, it is a tangle of smokestacks, lights, and tubes, backed by a fjord and a row of snowy peaks.
For now, StatoilHydro, the operator, will move gas up the pipes, process it, and export it by tanker -- half of it to Cove Point, Maryland, half to Bilbao, Spain. But soon carbon dioxide, separated from the natural gas, will travel the other direction down the pipes: StatoilHydro will inject it into the seabed to combat global warming. Snohvit promises to be one of the world's cleanest petroleum projects. During one test run, however, the winds blew ash from Snohvit's flares -- chimneys burning off excess gas -- that turned cars and homes black. StatoilHydro brought in doctors to test for carcinogens and handed out reparations checks to angry residents.
It is a measure of petroleum wealth's appeal that I find only one local politician opposed to the plant: a 19-year-old from the revolutionary-socialist Red party. Snohvit pays Hammerfest $22 million a year in property taxes. The town is awash in new projects: renovated schools, a bigger airport, a sports arena, a "full-digital," glass-walled cultural center. Strollers are everywhere in the snow-covered streets. It is easy to forget that Hammerfest was recently a dying town, shrinking in population, the most violent place in Norway. In his bay-front office, a local official named Snorre Sundquist is circumspect about Snohvit. "People didn't like the soot," he says, "but they accepted it.
That sole Hammerfest politician opposed to Snohvit -- also a prime candidate for future MSNBC contributor.

Back in the 50's when I was but a child, few homes had air conditioning, cars certainly did not, nor were there A/C's in the dr's office, the drug store, the grocery store or restaurants. The temperatures were about the same average as today. However, we were not sitting at a desk, in a cubicle, typing on a keyboard. We were picking cotton, digging potatoes, hoeing in the bean field, shucking corn in wagon in the middle of a field. At the hottest part of the day, we would take a break. We would sit on the porch and shell peas or beans until cool enough to go back into the fields.
Today, people are so enraptured with their own comfort and pleasures, they have forgotten that it is technology and our life styles that have changed, not the climate. And I have every intention of calling these "global warming fear mongers" spoiled brats.

I never pickled cotton or cropped tobacco. I did my share of hoeing.

I don't know who this "friend" is, but she sure is illiterate. There's been trade routes across the Arctic circle for at least 9 months out of every year for well over 150 years, ever since the first sail powered Ice Breakers were developed and deployed back in the 1850's. 100 years ago, Coal fired, Steam powered, ice breakers replaced wind power and tougher, stronger ice breakers widened those routs considerably and stretched them out to 10 months out of every year. New "modern" Oil and diesel powered ice beakers, made from high strength steel, have made those trade routes virtually ice free year round now for over 50 years.

“Climate Variation Is Undeniable”; spring?, summer?, fall?, winter? and YES there are plenty of ancient tropical fossils under the Arctic’s melting ice.
Every single CO2 scientist had their own personal and unique definition of climate crisis. Why? Because climate blame was a lab coat consultants w*et-dream. They studied "effects" of something that never happened for 25 years and called it scientific consensus. Not surprising since it was scientists and their pesticides and cancer causing chemicals that polluted the poor little five billion year old planet in the first place. They also gave us germ warfare, deep sea drilling technology, cruise missiles and land mines. And you want to trust these so called saints in the church of science enough to look your kids in the eyes and tell them they will die an unspeakable death from CO2 if they don't start turning the lights out more often? And now, just as we were all set to pay a tax to make the weather colder, Obama never even mentions the crisis in his state of the union speech and the thousands of consensus scientist did not march in the streets in mass protest for Obama bailing on them. Not surprising because this illusion of consensus had the scientists out numbering the protestors anyways. The new majority is the former believer majority and the new denier is any old faded doomer that doesn’t know that reality. The world has walked away from handing over the management of the climate to giant carbon trading stock markets, massive energy corporations and pandering politicians because false fear is always unsustainable. Welcome back home CO2, the plants still love you.

You wonder if people who know him sometimes can't resist pulling the leghumber's leg. The northwest passage around Alaska was pioneered almost as soon as they could build hulls strong enough to stand up to the ice. If we had not built the Panama canal their would have been much more sea traffic around the north side of alaska. The effort to keep the ice broken in the passage has been too expensive but with the ships today that are greater than panmax, greater than the maximum size ship for the Panama Canal, and the Panama Canal reaching maximum capacity we will see more ships going north of Alaska to Europe including Norway. You would think that Matthew would know this.

Submitted by big.league.slider on Sat, 07/16/2011 - 1:11am.
Since recent climate data has shown without question that the earth has been slowly cooling over the past decade, does Matthews have a plan for combating the ecological horror of global cooling? I mean if a 1degC increase in global temperatures will result in massive species extinction and global calamities, shouldn't a similar 1degC decrease in global temperatures wreak the same havoc?
Matthews must also have a public-school education. As for "trade routes across the Arctic Circle", apparently he's never heard of a modern invention called the "commercial jet aircraft". Cargo and passenger commercial jets fly routes over the poles dozens of times each day.
As for his concerned "friend in Alaska", it's probably Lisa Murkowski.

And six months from now, it will be -10 on some days. That is 100 degree difference. And what is driving that 100 degree difference? Ra, the big shiny in the sky. Time to sacrifice a goat to keep mr. shiny happy.

Every day brings another assinine comment from Chrisse Tingle. I wonder if he is drinking from a lead cup, or has some other disease other than liberalism.
He is completely irrelevent...just like Queffy Olberwoman. And to think he was going to run for senate a few years ago.
Among other reasons I can't stand Chrisse Tingle is that he interrupts everyone all the time, annoying all 3 viewers of his show at any given time.

Non c’est du français. ;-)
Al God and his beloved disciples are freaking out since mother nature is proving them wrong daily. Science challenged twits like alarmist C.M. will sink to new lows to save their dying AGW religion.
It's ok robbie*

Cajun, Do you remember crawfishing in the rice fields, the burning of the cane
in the fall? You have made me so lonesome for my homeland.
There is one plot left in our cemetery family plot. I will be put to rest there.
In the meantime, Chrissy, stuff a sock in it, you bumbling nincompoop.

Looking up at the night sky bright red from the burning marsh. Crab fishing at Calumet. Watching the shrimp boats leaving Morgan City. The sugar cane festival, yambilee. Standing outside the southern club listening to Fats Domino. Hiding in the closet cause a hurricane scared the heck out of you. Stuffing down all the boiled crawfish you could eat on Easter weekend.
Just for you cher
Has Chris ever done the least little bit of research on anything

The Northwest Passage was traversed several times in the 20th century. US submarines visited the North pole several times in the 50s.

The Arctic was much warmer 1,000 to 5,000 years ago.
