Never trust an officer above the rank of Major.

[Old Sarge]

Okay, THAT is perfect...

[KC_Conspirator]

I work in this business. Just because someone obtains a high rank, does not mean they are smart or competent.

[silverleaf]

Sounds like a high school paper

There is no such thing as man made climate change.

The climate does change and is probably on a grand scale beyond our grasp as to how the world climate cycle works between ice ages and dust bowls. The earth could be on a ten thousand year cycle of repeating events that we would be clueless on.

If we had weather change could that be a national security threat? I would think it is possible in as much as having a mini ice age on the states could effect security.

[jennings2004]

RIGHT!!!!!

[paltz]

Liberals started with this stupid bullshit messaging that global warming was a national security threat b/c polling showed that the American public rated global warming at the very bottom of their priorities and national security at the very top.

In related but unreported news, it has now been 3566 days (9.76 years) since the last major (Category 3 or higher) hurricane has made landfall in the United States. This eclipses the old record of 2231 days (6.11 years) set 19 Oct 1906.

Since Global Warming predicts more frequent hurricanes of higher intensity, this record shattering calm spell is...wait for it...proof of Global Warming.

By the way, Sandy did not rise to the level of hurricane.

The gov is incapable of telling the truth and their spokesmen are inevitably liars.

The only national security threat posed by Climate Change is the one by politicians and bureaucrats who seek to increase their power by destroying our economy and business infrastructure in the name of this phony problem.

[alloysteel]

Climate change, or more exactly, the response of a certain segment of political thought that somehow believes it is significant, DOES pose an undeniable threat to our national security, our financial stability, and even a great deal of our existence.

But not for the reasons the envirowhackos are giving us.

The greatest threat of all is that they shall somehow enact legislation that will shackle, cripple and in some instances completely destroy our capability to do ANYTHING positive or negative about the weather or anything else. Diverting resources to chase the chimera of “climate change”, by taxation, extreme regulation, or just intimidation of all human enterprise, means those resources simply shall not be available for any purposes, and a prolonged decivilization and Dark Age descends upon the world, the worse so because of the new superstitions that will be propagated with religious fervor.

Of course, this would render the deep underlying core of their agenda, the decimation of the current numbers of humanity on earth, as the guiding principle, and though there may be few to “enjoy” the new dystopia, a certain grim satisfaction would fall to the few of the “elite” who managed to survive the entirely man-made Holocaust.

I always thought that stood for "retired", when did they change it to "retarted"? And I thought we were not supposed to use that word anymore?

If all the moonbats barking about global warming were riding around on bicycles and living in tents, they might make a better point.

I rest my case.

[M Kehoe]

I did something I normally don't do. I read the article, and not one mention of China or India's contribution to so called global warming.

That's four minutes of my life I will never get back.
