Obama Directs Federal Agencies to Consider Climate Change As a National Security Issue
cnsnews.com ^ | 9/22/2016 | Susan Jones

In a Sept. 21 memo to his department heads, President Obama instructed all federal departments and agencies to consider the impact of climate change on national security.

Obama states that it is the policy of the U.S. government to ensure that current and anticipated impacts of climate change be "identified and considered" in developing national security doctrine, policies and plans.

"Climate change poses a significant and growing threat to national security, both at home and abroad," the memo says. Those threats, according to Obama, include flooding, drought, heat waves, intense precipitation, pest outbreaks, disease, and electricity problems, all of which can "affect economic prosperity, public health and safety, and international stability."

Obama also says those anticipated climate change issues could adversely affect military readiness; negatively affect military facilities and training; increase demands for federal support to civil defense authorities,; and increase the need to maintain international stability and provide humanitarian assistance needs

"moron" the threat that is, according to the omnipotent ones, greater than any glowbull jihad. We really, really, really need to dump these assclowns. Seems to me the threat by the 'progressives' is more of a threat than anything else. And, I do mean anything.

The ‘Fingerprint’ Of Global Warming Doesn’t Exist In The Real World, Study Finds(WUT!)
dailycaller.com ^ | 9/22/2016 | Michael Bastasch

One of the main lines of evidence used by the Obama administration to justify its global warming regulations doesn’t exist in the real world, according to a new report by climate researchers.

Researchers analyzed temperature observations from satellites, weather balloons, weather stations and buoys and found the so-called “tropical hotspot” relied upon by the EPA to declare carbon dioxide a pollutant “simply does not exist in the real world.”

They found that once El Ninos are taken into account, “there is no ‘record setting’ warming to be concerned about.”

“These analysis results would appear to leave very, very little doubt but that EPA’s claim of a Tropical Hot Spot (THS), caused by rising atmospheric CO2 levels, simply does not exist in the real world,” reads the report by economist James Wallace, climatologist John Christy and meteorologist Joseph D’Aleo.

His longtime Sec of State had a private e-mail server and exposed national secrets on a grand scale with malice aforethought.

Isn’t that more of a priority?

Any and all agencies should put this memo on the bottom of the pile and refuse to read it until Feb 2017 whereupon it can be disposed of.

Obama has brought in Ebola, and EV-D68,
and Islamic terrorists AND RELEASES MURDERERS and RAPISTS,
but now warns about a hoax?

Only the stinking EXEMPT GOP would fall for this.

He wants precisely the opposite. His promotion of Climate Change is a distraction, equivalent to yelling "Squirrel!", to keep people's eyes off of his Muslim-promoting actions.

.... Something to consider about "Climate Change" that should be considered ...... If the Climate Change crisis was a real genuine threat ..... Then the Governments around the world would be furiously preparing it's citizens for the coming change .....

.... Instead .... those Governments are lining their pockets with trillions of dollars worth of new taxes and penalties while at the same time warning the world that they need that cash to control the Climate instead of preparing for the big "Change." Yup .... That's right .... For some reason only throwing Money at the sky can magically solve our climate woes that still need to materialize.

... They are perpetrating and operating a colossal International Global Rainmaker scam.

With the alleged demise of communism (actually the communists simply renamed themselves “progressives” and came here where most — but not ALL — of them became “democrats” and DARN if one of them didn’t usurp the presidency and relocate elsewhere in Europe and the world), the left needed another “Boogieman” with which frighten the masses so they could be more easily be herded into their lusted for and unattainable pseudo-egalitarian and Utopian “New World Order” (where some are “more equal than others”, thank you Mr. Orwell!).

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) now “Climate Change” drew the short straw!

If you’re still unclear as to the FACTS concerning Algore’s highly profitable – for HIM and the grant money whores who have sold their souls to the incipient globalist tyrants for a mess of pottage! — AGW SCAM, spend some time with Dr. Fred Goldberg here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEcnJFTxQcU.

A Swede, Dr. Goldberg’s accent and droll delivery may induce slumber in some. But he sprinkled his talk with just enough “zingers” and wry humor to keep me watching. I hope Dr. Goldberg keeps you interested enough to go forth and spread the truth about the biggest – and most freedom/national sovereignty threatening — scam in modern history!
