Trump Admin To Remove Climate Change From List Of National Security Threats

The Trump administration will reverse course from previous Obama administration policy, eliminating climate change from a list of national security threats. The National Security Strategy to be released on Monday will emphasize the importance of balancing energy security with economic development and environmental protection, according to a source who has seen the document and shared excerpts of a late draft.

“Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system,” a draft of the National Security Strategy slated to be released on Monday said. “U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an anti-growth, energy agenda that is detrimental to U.S. economic and energy security interests. Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people out of poverty.”

This matches President Trump’s vision, sometimes shared using his trademark hyperbole, that the United States needs to emphasize national security and economic growth over climate change.

Any other no brainers out there?

Anything from the Obammy admin.

Good, now follow up by removing the high level asshats at DoD who actually wrote and implemented the policy.

[Future Snake Eater]

Yeah, it's right there in the last one produced in 2015. The first NSS I read was the 2010 document as part of the Command and General Staff College, and I couldn't believe that Manbearpig was listed so prominently as a national security threat.

Thank God adults are in charge.

NASA is doing space stuff now? Oh yeah, that’s what the “s” is for, right?

Imagine that. Under O, NASA was too busy with “climate change.”

Nope. Under O, NASA was too busy with “Muslim outreach.”

Next cut funding to these ‘the world is ending’ democrats.

[GOPsterinMA]

It’s amazing how when seemingly small things appear huge.

“Imagine that. Under O, NASA was too busy with “climate change.”

And moslem outreach.

WINNING, and another bad day for Bath House and Lizardface Jarrett!

[bert]

Adam Schiff is a greater threat to national security than climate change
