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.

I saw Marine One on Thursday last week flying north along Manhattan Beach in Southern California. Obama was headed towards a fundraiser and Marine One consisted of a fleet of 7 helicopters. There was a lead helicopter, a trailing helicopter and 5 helicopters in the middle. Apparently, the Marine One fleet flew Obama up to LA from a fundraiser he had attended earler in the morning in La Jolla (which is about 100 miles south of Los Angeles).

The upshot - I'll know global warming is a serious issue when Obama downgrades his Marine One fleet to 1 helicopter from the current 7 helicopters
