Pentagon Says Global Warming Presents Immediate Security Threat(Not Russia, Iran, ISIS)
nyt ^ | 10/13/14 | c davenport

The Pentagon released a report Monday asserting decisively that climate change poses an immediate threat to national security, with increased risks from terrorism, infectious disease, global poverty and food shortages. It also predicted rising demand for military disaster response as extreme weather creates more global humanitarian crises.

The report lays out a road map for how the military will adapt to rising sea levels, more violent storms and widespread droughts. The Defense Department will begin by integrating plans for climate change risks across all of its operations, from war games and strategic defense planning situations to a rethinking of the movement of supplies.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking Monday at a summit meeting of defense ministers in Peru, highlighted the report’s findings and the global security threats of climate change.

“The loss of glaciers will strain water supplies in several areas of our hemisphere,” Mr. Hagel said. “Destruction and devastation from hurricanes can sow the seeds for instability. Droughts and crop failures can leave millions of people without any lifeline, and trigger waves of mass migration.”

Ha, first we have Kerry this week declaring global warming as the top International threat, now Hagel declaring war on global warming. These toadies must have gotten their talking points from Barry and the DNC over the weekend. Looks like a desperate campaign ploy to terrify the public. Too bad for them that the public is already wise to the scam. One would think that federal officials would be working on ISIS and Ebola matters, but sadly, that’s not the case.

O’Dumbo will declare a national emergency over climate change long before it would over Ebola or illegals bringing in infectious diseases or terrorists exploiting known vulnerabilities.

Who’s in charge of this chicken outfit?

“Peter and Paul”. Our federal government: can afford to send weapons, MRAPs and e-cash to muslims, but we “aren’t budgeted” to properly equip and pay our own troops.

“Coals to New Castle”. With “unaccompanied minors” sharing a panoply of exotic diseases with our fellow Americans in interstate highway states, the Dept. of Homeland Security imports foreigners raddled with Ebola.

“Obama’s fault”. The Levant, Balkans, Baltic, Caucasus, `Pacific Rim’, and our own southwest border, all roiled in turmoil ...........

and yet despite all these dire, legitimate federal government interests, the feds still appear determined to make good on Zero’s promise to the algore lunatic-fringe branch of the Demo party to lower: Mother Gaia’s temperature a degree or two and her oceans levels.
The loonies are running the asylum.

This article like the one posted from the Compost is pure propaganda straight from the bowels of the Executive office building via the Pentagon

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3214442/posts

It represents pure panic in the White House. Written on the wall is the fact that it is over...... Utopia is coming to a halt.

At this point, time is running out and they know that their base lacks the cohesion and motivation to turnout in adequate numbers to reverse the destruction in store.

Disregard the content..... it’s drivel

The Whole of Obama’s Government is infested with nutcases.


You can cross out “Obama’s” from your sentence.

Liberals absolutely control government jobs. The biggest growth in the economy over the last 6 years has been in the Washington DC area. They’re not planning on giving up these over-paid jobs mostly do-nothing jobs. It’s us against them.

Apparently the war against islam, Chinese and Russian hegemony has taken a back seat to making perverts feel good about themselves, using the military to redistribute America’s wealth through foreign aid and saving us from nonexistant AGW.

Get the reps out of power too. They can NOT be trusted to do the right thing!

There was once a famous book published named "Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984?"... and everybody laughed because the idea it wouldn't survive until then plus another hundred years was so absurd...

We now have an on-going real-time book unfolding called "Will the United States Survive Until 2017?"... and now nobody is laughing...

The more damage is done by the Bolshies is the bureaucracy than all enemies combined.

I propose the VP be put in charge of weeding the bureaucracy. Bureaucrats do not have right to the job they do, but, a NY rubber room solution be applied. Transfer them to Gitmo where they have to show up at a desk where they cannot use the phone or talk to anyone. Violations subject to immediate dismissal.

The administration needs a distraction from the real threats facing the country. Its nothing but an attempt at laying down a political smoke screen to divert people’s attention from the administration’s complete failure to deal with pressing foreign problems.
