As climate change opens areas of the Arctic to shipping, the Coast Guard's need for new icebreaker ships has grown. But funding could get pushed back again.

Not to mention all the other REAL things we need.

US government. Should build 3 new ice breaker .ship

Fake news the two subjects are not related financially know your s*** better and report responsibly

different funding for the wall and for ice breakers

Why do we need icebreakers? I thought global warming was keeping the seas ice free...

mgoldsmith I read this morning the Navy doesn't know what to do with these $24 billion Zumwalt destroyers. So....

Oh stop there's money in the military budget now after Obama decimated the military!!!

The Coast Guard went without pay during the shutdown. Why would funding their equipment needs be any different?

We can do both.

'could' ..

All of this so that Trump can say he fulfilled his campaign promise. Now the whole country has to suffer.😡

Why do we need an icebreaker ? i thought global warming had melted the ice caps in 2014?..well ...according to global warming warrior Al Gore it was..now a question .. have we been lied to about global warming yet again ?..gee who can we trust.

Keep illegals out and save $116 billion could buy a fleet of them!!

The wall funding would be 1/10th of 1% of the budget....any chance the other 99.9% could be the problem?

Why not fund both?

Bullshit Alert

Why the need for icebreakers? With Global Warming there should be no ice. That’s what Al Gore told us a decade ago. Ice would be gone in the Arctic.

How's an ice breaker ship going to stop imaginary drug dealers, people traffickers and rapists streaming over the southern border!!!

They can use Al Gore’s Global Warming research vessel!

Can we just Blame Hillary & Bill. or maybe Jimmy Carter.

I think the wall is more important than breaking ice!!

With global warming, do we really need an ice breaking ship?

Have you seen the picture of Mitch McConnel standing and smiling in front of the rebel flag?

He doesn't care

😢

Huh. Ice breakers are only used during cold weather. Maybe 6 months a year. Border security is 24/7 365. Try again FAKE NEWS.

Imagine how much we could not afford if we had medicare for all?

altNOAA - Do we even bother to waste time typing the words they won't understand or just let it go?

Of course. That's Trump's fault too. Its an story, everything is Trump's fault.

We need at least 10 such ships.

False Narrative by Fake NEWs

They’ll just rely on global warming.

Seriously?!!! Get real.

Well at the rate he’s going with climate policy we won’t need it!

Build a wall around the ice. Then we won't need a new icebreaker boat.

You told us that the ice is almost gone and we know that thousands of illegals are headed to the border. By your own logic MSNBC the wall should come first. I realize that you are only interested in triggering hate toward the Presisent so let me help

That’s a NO 🧠 BRAINER..... illegal criminals that will bring more crime into 🇺🇸 OR a ice breaker boat to open up waterways.....? Lmao. BUILD THAT WALL and repair all those senseless immigration weak laws. 2019 should be a year for precedence

Global warming will take care of it

Trump the model of abuse stupidity and cruelty to kill s nation

Another BS FakeNews story. BuildTheWall

Always a ridiculous news story from MSNBC to keep us amused.

What about the Dems thinking it’s moral to abort babies up to delivering date and Immoral to build wall to protect America. News and Dems dislike our President more than taking care of America We want term limits, no raises for Congress, expose members who use slush funds

Congress spending 5 billion on anything wouldn't block this if they wanted this. What a joke. The budget is over 1 trillion. Do the math .

This is the new narrative? My lord

Don't need ice breakers when there's no more ice.

If they keep burning fossil fuels like there is no tomorrow, will there be any ice to break?

Nonsense. Just agree to name a new one after him and it will be funded in a second.

Stupid headline- rhetoric and scare tactics.

At the rate climate change is happening there won’t be any ice to break before long. ☹️

Nice try dummies

more diversion tactics and crap from MSNBC this is pure BS

“ could “ the basis for most of your mis-leading headlines

Thats okay! We want the wall fools!

The arctic is supposed to be ice free already.

Russia is building super icebreakers, laying claim to shipping routes above Siberia.

This is not a new issue--what did these folks not do--Nancy, Chuck, George, Obama, Bill, etc.

But but but....Global Warming....

I guess propganda media running out of hate and fake news. Why didnt Obama fix it? Pathetic

AOC wants to break up ICE, maybe she can take over.

Who gives a damn!!! Build the Wall!!!!! We WILL BUILD THE WALL!!!

that's OK -- the Russians will take care of the Arctic .............
