CIA director nominee Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) said Thursday that he would rather not wade into the climate change debate during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.
“I frankly as a director of CIA would prefer today not to get into the details of climate debate and science. It seems my role is gonna be so different and unique from that. It is gonna be to work alongside warriors keeping Americans safe, and so I stand by the things that I’ve said previously with respect to that issue,” Pompeo said.
Sen. Kamal Harris (D-Calif.) asked Pompeo, “CIA Director Brennan, who spent a 25-year career at the CIA as an analyst, a senior manager, and station chief in the field, has said that when ‘CIA analysts look for deeper causes of rising instability in the world, one of the causes those CIA analysts see is the impact of climate change.’ Do you have any reason to doubt the assessment of these CIA analysts?”

Best to let it sound like an extensive answer while running out the clock on a Democrat questionner’s time.
True, lots of yack could actually serve a purpose. Besides we will need more global warming soon anyhow, and what better place and method than more hot air from Washington?
Strategically sound.
Tactically shrewd.
Eggzellent !
By the time Trump takes the oath of office, our so called intelligence agencies, will have lost any ounce of credibility they ever had. This particular question indicates, our intelligence agencies have been tasked, to install global climate change order.
“Best to let it sound like an extensive answer while running out the clock on a Democrat questionner’s time.”
Exactly correct. Extremely long, complicated answers when the opposition is questioning. Short, to the point answers when responding to friendly questioners.
Why the heck should the CIA director be involved in any kind of climate change BS
= = =
The CIA is part of clandestine cloud seeding (that we know of) and other weather modification (that we don’t know of).
So the CIA is the SOURCE of climate change.
That’s why!
Who’s a bigger idiot: Kamala Harris or Corey Booker?
= = =
I thought Kamala would be more like DiFi, but she is turning out like Barbie, right at the start.
Global Warming and Science have nothing to do with each other
Sen. Kamal Harris (D-Calif.)
A perfect example of the intelligence exhibited by the people that are elected by plantation voters. Goes along with the tilting of Guam by adding too many military, viewing the flag on the moon form Mars, etc. Certainly not the best and brightest are they?
During the Dubya second term, I was at a conference, working with the National Center for Atmospheric Science.
The are big boys in meteorological modeling. The director was peripherally caught up in climategate.
I was part of the DOD that had contracted with them for modeling. They shopped the idea that they could do “global warming” models for the military. The head of our group told them to forget it, because our bosses did not believe manmade global warming was a problem.
He retired (pretty good guy, if fairly liberal) he was replaced with a *very* liberal guy. I only imagine what has happened to the program in the last four years since I retired...
Besides the longer you take to answer the question the less time they have to ask you more questions.
You missed the circular argument. Climate change is real. Climate change is why ISIS is crazy therefore climate change is why ISIS kills.
Get rid of climate change and ISIS goes away too.
Ta Da!
Very lefty I believe. Also illiberal. The liberals of old have nearly vanished, the ones who believed in raising a discussion about what was right and getting consensus on the basis of understood merit. And merit is where warmism has always fallen down. It was but one theory on an entire palette of theories of climate prognostication, and not even the one with the most arguments in its favor. The older scientists who feared an ice age were more realistic, and would have viewed our current weather measurements as, at best, a kind of global Indian summer in the face of a fast approaching global winter.
Illiberal. Illiberal. Dinesh D’Souza put his finger on that, decades back, with his book “Illiberal Education.”
First NASA was redirected from space exploration to finding Mohammedan contributions to American science. Now the CIA is to be redirected to fighting climate change. What next? Department of Defense shifting to searching for extraterrestrials.
Yes, Calif elected this dizzy b!tch to the Senate to replace Barbara Boxer.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Never, ever be surprised at the stupid sh!t she comes up with. She even a lefty by CA standards.
Senator Harris probably honed her crafty way with words, while in close association with Willie Brown.
Well, if ETs are real, DoD would need a plan to stop them... /s
So, is that what ‘isis/is/isil/daesh’ is so mad about? Climate change?
It’s a tight race.
“Who’s a bigger idiot: Kamala Harris or Corey Booker?”
Best Answer: It’s a tie! But at the bottom of the gene pool. In public, they seem a bit more “rational” than their really stupid counterparts, Hank Johnson, and the “Lee Sisters” (Barbara and Sheila), but under the “skin” they are just as bad.
