The Obama administration looks at climate change as a threat to national security on par with terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and disease outbreaks.
President Obama’s national security strategy released Friday updates the previous plan published in 2010, with focuses on Russia, Islamic militants and health.
“Climate change is an urgent and growing threat to our national security, contributing to increased natural disasters, refugee flows, and conflicts over basic resources like food and water,” the White House says in the 35-page strategy document.
“The present day effects of climate change are being felt from the Arctic to the Midwest. Increased sea levels and storm surges threaten coastal regions, infrastructure, and property. In turn, the global economy suffers, compounding the growing costs of preparing and restoring infrastructure.”
The administration argues that effective action against climate change will bolster the security of the United States and its allies.
The document aligns with Obama’s second-term emphasis on fighting climate change internationally and identifying it as a threat to areas as diverse as agriculture, health and the economy.
In addition to increasing the urgency in the climate fight, the national security strategy could lend legitimacy to the administration’s efforts to diversify the military's sources of energy.
The strategy goes on to tout domestic and international efforts to fight climate change, as outlined in Obama’s 2013 Climate Action Plan.
“America is leading efforts at home and with the international community to confront this challenge,” the document says. “We are also working to strengthen resilience and address vulnerabilities to climate impacts.”
The White House also calls for more efforts to increase energy security.
“Seismic shifts in supply and demand are underway across the globe,” it says. “Increasing global access to reliable and affordable energy is one of the most powerful ways to support social and economic development and to help build new markets for U.S. technology and investment.”
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz underscored the importance of energy security in his own statement on the plan.
“Now more than ever, it is critical for us to focus our efforts to cooperate on security issues that are increasingly critical to the stability of global markets and underscore the risk of relying on one source of energy,” he said.
“At the same time, collective action on security also presents an opportunity to diversify our low-carbon energy options, combat climate change, and strengthen our economies.”
“Death to all who say that the Climate Change agenda is destructive!!”
“Freedom of scientific inquiry and rigorous data measurement go to Hell!!”
“The future must not belong to those who ridicule Al-Gore!!”

It is those global warming muzzies we’re looking out for.
Obamma mamba jamma lenin khomeini is at war with the USA.
The worst part is half the country is blinded by his total bs view.. How long will America sit and watch our takeover..Unfortunately until we are so poor, or dead that
Islam takes over..What Islam does not know is God Himself will destroy it..Lord may America stay free until your return allowing your word and way to spread, at your coming, we will no longer need a government, for God’s laws will be written on our hearts..
If someone would just steal the earth’s thermostat from Algore and turn down the temperature, all would be well. But noooooooooo! We have to have a global government regulation, control and global wealth transfer (taxation) to make Al cough it up!
The highest priority matter on the national security checklist should be getting rid of the Manchurian Canidate in the WH before he weakens us so significantly that ISIS can walk in and fly the Jolly Roger lookalike flag over the WH...
: )
714 more days of this Muslim gasbag! Not that I’m counting.
Effing taqiyya. Again and again from these bastages.
Obama won’t be satisfied until he has Potemkin weather
all his own.
Potemkin weather
Potemkin climate change
He’s going to totally transform the earth!
Personally , I don’t think the earth needs transforming
and it may not like it a bit.
You have to question the sanity, honesty or both of those who proselytize about man-made climate change.
It has become their religion.
If they can passionately believe in something that flies in the face of facts, where does their self delusion stop?
People that unhinged from reality can’t be trusted.
They want everyone else to validate their beliefs and they get upset at those who do not. It won’t be long before they turn to violence.
