The Pompeo Doctrine: A formula for catastrophe – Alternet.org

This article is about the Pompeo Doctrine concerning the Arctic region. In this article references are made to Pompeo's speech to the Arctic nations. Pompeo discusses the opening up of the Arctic region due to the melting of the ice.

Those here at Politics Forum are aware of course that the term "climate change" was most likely not uttered by our Secretary of State Pompeo. According to this article you would be correct.

This article mentions the Greenland Crisis and all the military changes being conducted by the US and NATO as a result of the rapid Climate Change above the Arctic Circle.

Russia and China are also busy getting ducks in a row in the Arctic. Parts of the Arctic region are Russian as parts are American. Exactly how the South China Sea extends that far North was not explained. However, the author hinted that China might occupy islands that they say are in International Waters.

One third of the gas in the world is thought to be in the Arctic Region. There appear to be very significent natural resources under the melting ice including oil, gold, diamonds and other precious metals.

The author mentions that the more we exploit these new natural resources the more there will be climate change. The author also commented that in time we might not be able to get oil out of the Gulf of Mexico as there are too many hurricanes and other violent weather. In time we might not be able to get oil from the Middle East as the temperature will be too hot for humans to be live there except inside air conditioned buildings.

This thread is designed to use the Arctic region as the focal point of discusion of climate change in the Arctic and resulting international relationships. However, any sources that back up the focus of this article are welcome.

Are there islands in the Arctic that do not fall under International Law as being a part of the Arctic nations: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Rusia, the US, Canada, and Denmark (Greenland)? Iceland is not named as owning land above the Arctic Circle. However, Iceland has a base there that is being reactivated and was mentioned in the article.

The US has spent trillions of dollars on war. In the area which is part of the US, Alaska, is the US taking the needed steps to keep China's from occupying islands and building bases in the Arctic? That is our (America's) land. The land in the Middle East is not our land.

I don't believe that we are going to completely quit using fossil fuels in the coming decades. I do believe that if our planet is going to be able to survive we must reduce significently our use of fossil fuels. There are continuing new technology that reduces the damage that using fossil fuels does to the earth.

I believe that we will need to use several strategies if we are to keep living on earth without something happening that will cause massive deaths.

We may need to reduce birth rates world wide. Consider the woodlands. There is a limit of the number of deer per mile that a given area can accommodate. If the deer population exceeds that number for very long, an illness will overcome the deer reducing the deer population to a population that this given area can accommodate. This has been part of accepted dogma concerning habitats and how many of certain species can this given habitat accommodate for a long time.

What is the highest population of people can this planet support before a disease or something relating to overpopulation brings untold death of people? No one knows the answer to this question.

I do know that if the average consumption of fossil fuels per person stayed the same, but the population were to be cut in half, the total consumption of fossil fuels would be cut in half.

My point is that birth rate may need to be controlled to reduce the population so the earth can repair itself from humans' use of the earth. As I just mentioned, there is a population number that once it is reached will result in massive deaths. No one knows that number. I for one do not want to find out!

Keep in mind that Trump goes to rallies and calls Climiate Change a hoax. Meanwhile Pompeo has been assigned to oversee the rapid Climate Change happening in the Arctic Region and make sure the US comes out on top over the other Arctic nations.

In other words, Trump is lying through his teeth. Trump knows damn well what is happening in the Arctic Region. Trump is very aware that there is climate change.

This is not a problem for Trump. Trump is an expert at telling one lie to one group and then a different lie to another group. Trump was not present when the trait of good character was being passed out.

I have no credentials to diagnose behavior issues. However, there are times I wonder if Trump can deciphor between the truth and the lies that he tells. That is frightening to think that the Trump that is directing America's response to the rapid climate change does not know the Trump that spews forth lies at his rallies by proclaiming Climate Change a hoax.

At least one of the Trump's knows this is a lie! Is it possible that the Trump at the rallies does not even recognize the Trump that is directing America's response to rapid Climate Change in the Arctic Region?

These scientists that are paid by the fossil fuel industry to tell the public what the fossil fuel industry wants the people to hear: They are very aware that the earth is about to go through climate change that will speed up, not stay the same, over time. Are they not concerned about their children and grandchildren?

I can easily forgive people who are not educated and really don't understand that climate change is very real.

I can easily forgive those in the fossil fuel industry whose conscience finally wins and they spill the truth and change their ways.

I have a bit of trouble forgiving people who are in the act of causing military confrontation in the Arctic: those people who are in charge of policies that are destroying the earth: and also those who are supporting these policies that may destroy the earth for human habitation within decades. This is as long as they are still actively involved in destroying our planet.

It is very troublesome for me to forgive a president who by his actions has shown that he is very aware that climate change is for real in the Arctic Region while he is telling his base that Climate Change is a hoax. Does Donald Trump have any concern for the earth he is leaving to his son who is not yet an adult?

This is another example of Trump having zero character. Trump isn't concerned about the earth that he is leaving to his youngest son. Why would he care what he is leaving to our children and grandchildren.

I suspect there are many sources out there concerning the Climate Change in the Arctic Region. This thread is a place where in time there might be enough sources that a senior at university could make an A on a senior paper perhaps even a graduate thesis.

I never cease to be amazed at the professional scientific and political level here at the Politics Forum.

If someone does find sources here for term papers I would suggest that you might not include the information that you found the source here at the Large Penis Support Group!

Some things are best left unsaid.

I just found a thread called Global Warming that has many posts. I am thinkning of asking the moderators about merging this thread into the Global Warming thread since it is older and more inclusive.

About Canada. I had Canada in there at one point. Not sure how Canada dissapeared. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Indeed yes @rbkwp has relentless documented what we're doing to the planet in that thread started by a skeptic many years ago that hasn't bother to show up since he took it over and owned it. Kudos to his efforts.

The key information that is flying under the radar is not that the earth average temperature will go up a degree more. The key information that too many people have overlooked that the Arctic Region is getting warmer much faster than the rest of the earth.
