Obama’s Disinformation Trek to Alaska
Why didn’t Obama mention the Hubbard Glacier?Located near Yakutat, about 220 miles northwest of Alaska’s capital city of Juneau and 350 miles east of Exit Glacier, Hubbard Glacier is 25 percent bigger than the state of Rhode Island and measures more than six miles across where it meets the ocean.Perhaps Mr. Obama doesn’t know this – or perhaps he doesn’t want you to know this – but Hubbard Glacier has been advancing – that’s right, advancing! – for more than a century.And it’s not the only advancing glacier in Alaska.According to the USGS, Hubbard Glacier is the largest of eight calving glaciers in Alaska that are currently increasing in total mass and advancing.
