"Climate change" can lead to new terrorist threats?

[Jroc]

It's the inmates running the asylum with this administration is it any wonder even liberals are losing confidence with these people?....Secretary of Defense in Peru to talk about "Global warming" with everything we got going on? What a bunch of clowns

The Defense Department released a report Monday that imagines a resource-starved world caused by climate change, which could lead to new terrorist threats that the U.S. military must be prepared to meet.

DOD’s Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap said climate change “may cause instability in other countries” by threatening access to food and water, spreading disease and causing the disruption of large portions of their civilian populations.

“These developments could undermine already-fragile governments that are unable to respond effectively or challenge currently-stable governments, as well as increasing competition and tension between countries vying for limited resources,” it said. “These gaps in governance can create an avenue for extremist ideologies and conditions that foster terrorism.”

Aside from that possible threat, the report said the U.S. must monitor any sea lanes that might open up in the Arctic and cause military tensions. “Maintaining stability within and among other nations is an important means of avoiding full-scale military conflicts,” it said.

For these and other reasons, the report said climate change affects the department’s ability to defend the country, and “poses immediate risks to U.S. national security.”

The report was released as the department announced that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was in Peru to discuss climate issues with other countries.

Well I guess the DOD wants to opt in on the cash cow known as AGW.

"...is it any wonder even liberals are losing confidence with these people?"


I just saw this in a review of the book "Hopeless."


"I, like so many, bought the rhetoric and bought the novelty of Obama 2008 --- tepidly, not enthusiastically...but nonetheless, naively. Others did not buy in. Hopeless is a compilation of dire warnings and assessments of results from such skeptically correct folks and is a must read for all who now know they were snookered AND for those who still haven't a clue and cling to what Bill Clinton called the Obama "fairy tale."

Placating their moronic base, with two weeks to go before the election.

Holy shit the left are such lying fucking morons.

 

[Jroc]

So we have Isis on the move. China and Russia asserting their power, Iran on the verge of a nuclear weapon,massive cuts and downsizing of the defense dept, Ebola now in the U.S. and we pay for The Secretary of Defense to travel to Peru to discuss "Global warming"?

 

[Old Rocks]

Well, once again a demonstration as to why "Conservatives" are "Conservatives". Massive and willfull ignorance is their goal, and they succeed admirably.

There are many problems in the world today, just as there were yesterday, and will be tomorrow. Some are short term problems, ISIS, ebola, and the present political posturing of China and Russia. Some are long term. Poverty, rising sea levels, acidifying oceans, and a general warming due to the GHGs we are putting into the atmosphere that is changeing climatic patterns.

ISIS has killed more people in a month than "global warming" has in years. Nice try....

Well, let's hope that by that future 'tomorrow' we have a more competent administration.

 

[Old Rocks]

Yep. We will see how Hillary does. Shoud do well with a Dem Congress and Senate.

Ummm.... ok even though global warming is a scam. Whats the defense dept have to do with it? "poverty" we've spent trillions on the war on poverty with nothing got show for it We cant change the climate, we never have been able to change the climate. get real

Egad, we already know what happens when there is a rapid increase in the GHGs in the atmosphere. We see the record in the rocks. Now why on earth should we imagine that the results will be any differant just because it is humans rapidly increasing the GHGs instead of Trapp volcanics?

Every Scientific Society, every National Academy of Science, and every major University has policy statements stating that AGW is real, and a clear and present danger.

Single celled blue-green algea changed the very composition of the atmosphere about 2 and 1/2 billion years ago. Life has and is continually changing this planet.

They make lots of money off the "clear and present danger" scam don't they...I'd like to focus on the Defense dept ...Focus boy

 

[Old Rocks]

Oh yeah, one sure see all those rich scientists driving Ferraris and Lombarghinias.

You are a lying asshole, Jroc. It is the multi-billionaire energy corperation CEO's that are creating the lies concerning what is happening in this world. And it is fools like you that are too lazy to do actual research to see what is the truth.

As a university student, I see scientists on a daily basis. And most of them are the most honest people I know. Unlike the obese junkies on the radio that you people get your information from.

We DO? What is it? CO2 has skyrocketed these last 20 years and so far the last 18 have been stationary. And now it looks real likely that we are plunging over a crest into a multi decade cold cycle. How EXACTLY is CO2 affecting that?

 

[Old Rocks]

In other words, you are too damned lazy even to do basic research.

 

[Old Rocks]

Walleyes, we are about to have the warmest year on record. Low TSI, increased aerosols from India and China, and a neutral ENSO. That is hardly plunging over the crest into a cold cycle.

But, since you have come out and made a rock solid predicition, you will be reminded of your folly in the future.

By the way, what session do I have to check on to see a video of your presentation at the AGU this year?

Proof the far left have no clue beyond their programmed talking points..

Yep let us measure temperatures in a warming trend (during a natural cycle) and blame humans.
