«I’m in love with the artic nature,» said Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton, after participating in a packed program on Svalbard. «It exceeds my high expectations, which were pretty high to begin with.»


(AFP)Hillary Rodham Clinton and four senator colleagues saw with their own eyes the climate changes on Svalbard during their visit Sunday and Monday. About 50 meters from the powerful glacier Kongsbreen at NyÅlesund, Olav Orheim, director and glaciological scientist at the Norwegian Polar Institute, told the senators that the glacial apron has retreated four kilometres since 1970.

«The US can no longer deny or ignore that climate changes actually occur,» Clinton said. «This case demand changes, and we are many who are looking for ways to get climate questions higher up on the agenda. «When we have agreed upon the facts, something many in the Senate actually ignore, can we actually agree on what we are going to do about this.»
