He’s simply coping with it.

Thanks for posting. A necessary pill for Fast Draw Freepers who almost gunned down General Mattis over this phony story inferring his support for the Loony 97%.

Why is he bringing it up in the first place. He just needs to talk about difficult land conditions for troop effectiveness or say nothing. “Climate Change” needs to be out of his vocabulary IMHO.

“[c]limate change is impacting stability in areas of the world where our troops are operating today.”

This is the standard Leftist line that "climate change" is causing 3rd world government instability, refugee flows, etc... Its utter BS. Mattis may not be a AGW cultist, but he should not regurgitate their slogans and ridiculous narratives.

In sum general, your troops may need to be prepared to operate in rain, wind, heat, cold, flood and drought - basically, the same as every other single general in history, since time began. Stop telling us its something new or different.

I suppose Mattis nominating Leftist Ann Patterson(Obama supporter of the Arab Spring) for Undersecetary of State for Poilcy was just a fluke.

Maybe.

But, what if Obama's Sec Def said the same?

When this was first seen, it was disregarded. Good to see light on the issue. MFM once again putting their words in another’s mouth. ie. FAKE NEWS SMH, it will be the death of them.

I’m guessing that after 8 years of culture/language in the Pentagon, it was habit. I hope so because after Anne-what’s-her-name, this would have been strike two.

If Kasich and his mailmen can keep their appointed rounds irregardless of the weather, our military should do no less.

He still picked Anne Patterson for his deputy.

I’m really not interested in anyone willing to waste even a single second of my time talking about Climate Change.

Mattis wasn't speaking about climate change because it was important to him but because he was asked about it by Senator Jean Shaheen (D-NH) in his confirmation hearing.

He's basically saying nothing more than "the military has to adapt to the weather."

He’s a damned idiot. Climate change as a military factor is stupid. 100 years from now you won’t need one different price of gear or tactic than you do now.
There are 100 other things that top that as a part of the planning matrix.
Women in the USMC infantry fit one thing.

A better response would have been, “If at some time in the future the “Honrable” Senator from New Hampshire wishes to ask me a relevant question, I will be happy to answer, but I have no intention of wasting the precious time of the American people by entertaining Democrat fantasy.”

“Why is he bringing it up in the first place.”

Exactly. As the fruit loop sore loosers like to say, why “normalize” this crackpot theory.
Will he be saying things next like “Diversity is strength”?
Quit goofin’ on the Beaver, general.

Mattis also said “[c]limate change is impacting stability in areas of the world where our troops are operating today.”

Yes, it's impacting the world because the climate change believers are kooks and many are leaders of their countries..

Post is bullcrap. Mattis stuck his foot in it. The climate changes too slowly to impact any nations national security.

Mattis said outright that climate change was causing instability, which is pure bullcrap. Weather does what it does. Climate changes on a geologic time scale. It takes far, far longer than the oldest man’s lifetime for a permanent climate change to definitively occur. All we witness in our lifetimes are normal weather variations.

Only a warming alarmist could believe climate changes so fast it destabilizes nations.

What a crock. Mattis really stepped in it.
