Newly declassified images have been released showing the devastating impact of global warming in Alaska.

The graphic photographs, released last week by the American military, show huge swathes of summer ice cover have disappeared from the Chukchi Sea.

The photos were kept strictly secret by the Washington administration under George W Bush and were declassified by the White House last week.

'Our primary focus is maintaining the continuity of climate observations, and those are at great risk right now because we don't have the resources to have satellites at the ready and taking the kinds of information that we need,' said Lubchenco, who was appointed by Obama. 'We are playing catch-up.'

No.

That man lied and covered up sooooo much stuff, good and bad, that I don't believe anything coming from that administration and neither should anyone else. Those photos are most likely doctored.

You know, this "melting ice" bit is not new. Back in the early 1900's, for instance, if there were melting glaciers and whatever, who would have known? I'm sure a certain amount of melting went on back then, we just don't have records of it, much less aerial photos or satellite images designed to scare the pants off of people. No one got on the bandwagon about El Nino, La Nina or global warming or any other made-up excuse. It simply is the earth doing what the earth does, which is change. The earth is not static. It doesn't stay precisely the same from year to year or decade to decade or even moment to moment.
