Give me a break, New York Times, or better yet, give me a break Congress:
The Department of Defense’s assessment of the security issue came about after prodding by Congress to include climate issues in its strategic plans
How about the $700-billion a year the United States exports to nations that sell us oil?
Think about that. What this article is saying is that the current administration is more concerned about warming predicted by a computer model that hasn’t gotten it right yet, then it is about our dependence on foreign oil. One only needs to look at bankrupt California to see the results of promoting green energy while NOT allowing drilling for natural resources.
“But what about the climate Mike?,” you might ask. Thanx for asking. Official measurements of the atmosphere by NASA show no warming since 1997 even as CO2 concentrations have risen. During the 80′s and 90′s, ice caps on Mars shrank! My opinion (and that of many solar scientists and many scientists in general) is that any warming, and cooling, we’ve seen in the past was driven by the Sun.
Climate Change isn’t a threat to national security. Rather, it’s these backward policies that are putting the country in danger.
Meanwhile, fewer and fewer American’s think global warming is a problem.
