“Assuming that extreme weather events are on the rise in terms of frequency and destruction, .. “
which there is zero evidence of either greater frequency or greater severity when measured in the longest cycles of weather events
If you assume climate change is happening and the cause is man made, then you could conclude that it is a national security risk.
but with all logic, if you start with a faulty assumption, you end up with an invalid conclusion.
Additionally, if you assume the only recouse is to go 100% green energy, then you could conclude that path is a national security risk also.
But the reality is, if you assume the US govt. does nothing about the welfare state, you must conclude a financial disaster will occur which is a national security risk.
I wish S and P and the US military would publish that result which almost a mathematical certainty while the global warming premise is not a certainty.
VERY CRAFTY!!!
Pure extortion.
Well so far, so good:
Safest start to tornado season in almost a century
Downward trends in the frequency of intense Atlantic hurricanes during the past five decades
Violent Tornadoes Declining – Landfalling Hurricanes Declining
Michael Savage had a great idea last week. He said that once all this climate hysteria settles down and the scam is fully exposed for what it is, that all the instigators who foisted this crap on us should be put in front of People’s Tribunals and when found guilty thrown into special “Climate Prisons”.
Well, if it’s throughout the world — then who cares?
horse hockey!
The U.S. Credit Rating is going to now be controlled by Algore’s hoax and scam? Screw Standard and Poor’s. Who needs ‘em. This is fraud and extortion. Somebody at Standard and Poor’s needs to go to jail.
My thinking has it that “Global Warming” is a colossal fraud.
The powers that be are determined to push their agenda upon us no matter what it takes.
I will again state that to free ourselves from the current and coming oppression will take nothing less than a full blown civil war, and perhaps another world war.
It would be easier to make a credible case, using economic and weather data, that the gassy ideas emanating from the mouths of people with hyphenated last names pose a greater threat to the U.S. credit rating than the gases emanating from U.S. smokestacks, tail-pipes, and cows' butts.
It seems like the nation with the most, cheap fuel, and the geography and technology of America, would win over weather changes of any type, cheaper and more plentiful energy solves just about most problems.
This sounds like something you’d read in the bi-monthly journal of a nuthouse.
This is simply a case of S & P trying to curry favor with the Obama Regime (which can cause it GREAT harm). I’m sure that S & P are worried that the Regime has it in for them since they downgraded US government debt from AAA to AA+ several years ago.
Who is it that runs S&P? I think it is some obastard insider thug sympathizer.
If the GOP buys off on this BS, S&P will probably use “gay marriage” and “Common Core” to threaten us next. Sounds like some commie BS to me.
Remember, CO2 emissions from the US have declined every year since the early 1990s.
Also, regarding an increase in “destructive weather”, it’s enlightening to point out that there have been no landfalls by hurricanes of greater than Category-2 strength in something like 10 years now.
This is from the same S&P that issued AAA ratings for asset backed securities that lost most of their value following the credit crisis. We should have the same regard for S&P's future credit ratings as we have for their opinion on global warming.
The same principle applies to business news organizations such as the WSJ, Barrons, Bloomberg and even Forbes. Their editorial staffs have become so politicized and divorced from reality that not a word of their other content can be trusted.
The last time the S&P buffoons threatened this stuff, Barry put his boys on them. He better do it again.
