Pompeo downplays climate change, suggests 'people move to different places'

[lunasun]

The climate's been changing a long time. There's always changes that take place," Pompeo said during an interview with the Washington Times published Friday......

“Societies reorganize, we move to different places, we develop technology and innovation," he added. "I am convinced, I am convinced that we will do the things necessary as the climate changes."

In May, Pompeo praised the Arctic's rapidly shrinking sea levels for their subsequent economic opportunities, despite continued warnings about the catastrophic effects of climate change.

"Steady reductions in sea ice are opening new passageways and new opportunities for trade -- this could potentially slash the time it takes to travel between Asia and the West by as much as 20 days," he said during remarks in Rovaniemi, Finland. "Arctic sea lanes could become the 21st century Suez and Panama Canals."

He is not at all concerned about the security threats that could be created with accelerating climate change is he?

1. We should form a database of climate change deniers and force them into areas that will flood.

Let them swim.

Pompeo sounds like he would make a great entry in that database.

13. Oh he knows and at the same time is supporting a further authoritarian rule with trump WH

Climate change and authoritarian rule have proven a disaster >see Syria for an example

Cartoon example at link

He ignores that the people coming here now are largely seeking refuge at the same time the WH
demonizes and degrades them

10. So, Pompeo thinks it's worth it to have Miami and Houston underwater if ships can sail the arctic?

I recommend that Pompeo move to a different place. I suggest Pitcairn Island.

11. You read what he said -economic opportunities be economic opportunitie$ Bottom line and all that

Can he make a buck or a billion somewhere on it ?

12. If he owns an industrial strength drainage company in South Florida

Plus a shipping company that specializes in delivering cargo from New York to Anchorage and Seattle, I'm sure he's all for a few hundred thousand square miles of arctic ice melting.
