Mike Pompeo, secretary of state, says melting sea ice opens 'new passageways' for trade

Scientists have repeatedly sounded the alarm on global warming’s role in elevating sea levels, but in a speech Monday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pointed to what he felt was a positive: new waterways for trade.

“Steady reductions in sea ice are opening new passageways and new opportunities for trade,” he said. “This could potentially slash the time it takes to travel between Asia and the West by as much as 20 days.”The comments, which were first flagged by Observer, were part of a wide-ranging set of remarks affirming U.S. commitments to the Arctic.

At his Senate confirmation hearing for his former post as CIA director in 2017, Pompeo evaded questions about his positions on the environment, stating he “would prefer today not to get into the details of the climate debate and science.”The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s annual Arctic Report Card released in December revealed that the oldest ice in the region had seen a 95% reduction in the past 30 years.

Pompeo aims to counter China’s ambitions in the ArcticThe Trump administration sees the polar north as the next frontier of geopolitical competition — and it has China and Russia in its sights. He's gone full Putin like that. This is the most tragic opinion he could hold because it provides motivation to continue the climate crisis. This woman could tell you everything you’d need to know about Trump’s finances. She’s “one of the most trusted people inside Trump Tower” and has “heard everything, and taken good notes.” Subpoena/interview her today.
