George W. Bush and the Suppression of Truth

Graphic images that reveal the devastating impact of global warming in the Arctic have been released by the US military. The photographs, taken by spy satellites over the past decade, confirm that in recent years vast areas in high latitudes have lost their ice cover in summer months.
The pictures, kept secret by Washington during the presidency of George W Bush, were declassified by the White House last week. President Barack Obama is currently trying to galvanise Congress and the American public to take action to halt catastrophic climate change caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Mysterious Blob of the Arctic

IT'S NOT OIL: No one in the area can recall seeing anything like it before.
Something big and strange is floating through the Chukchi Sea between Wainwright and Barrow, Alaska.
Hunters from Wainwright first started noticing the stuff sometime probably early last week. It's thick and dark and "gooey" and is drifting for miles in the cold Arctic waters.

Climate Change Impacts Greenland

The United States is strengthening its air base at Thule on the extreme north of Greenland and the Russians have already planted flags on the sea bed.
Greenland is the land mass closest to the North Pole and has rapidly assumed greater strategic importance as its much more powerful and populous neighbors vie for a slice of the Arctic's supposed mineral wealth.

The New Cold War

The reports from the world's diplomats and military planners say there's a new theater of war — at least cold war — where tensions are heating up because the world is.
In the Arctic these days, there are Danish commando dog-sled patrols guarding northern Greenland. While U.S. icebreakers are mapping the seabed, Russian subs are planting their flag on the same seabed.
And the Canadian navy is expanding its Arctic patrols, running new military exercises, ordering six new military patrol ships, while the Canadian government is building up two Arctic military bases.
The thought of big nations finding yet another vested interest in their landscape isn't universally thrilling in Greenland, which has been a strategic military outpost for the U.S. and Denmark since the Cold War. Inuit hunters were displaced when the American military set up camp at the Thule Air Base on the island's northwest shore in the 1950s, and Inuit hunters were the first to be exposed when a B-52 carrying hydrogen bombs crashed near the base in 1968.
