The U.S. Constitution lists six goals. The intent to form a more perfect union is undermined by our current political divisiveness. The other five are crippled by our failure to address global warming:
1. Establish justice: Ethnic minorities and the poor suffer most from pollution caused by mining, refining and burning carbon fuels, and are most hurt by global warming they increasingly cause.
2. Ensure domestic tranquility: Multiple studies show that heat increases violence by both individuals and quarreling groups.
3. Provide for the common defense: As early as 2003, the military recognized the dangers climate change poses to world stability, which make their job harder.
4. Promote the general welfare: Rising expenses to adapt to future climate change and repair its damage lessen our welfare, as do all the potential harms cited above.
5. Secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity: The damage caused by rising temperatures that makes weather events more powerful means a loss of liberty for a growing number of Americans by destroying their homes, draining their finances and endangering their lives.
In summary, by ignoring global warming our legislators fail to provide protections that our Constitution promised current and future generations.

Government control equals liberty.
Got it.
