BREAKING MAD: Hill Op-Ed Cites 9/11 Attacks to Insist NATO Invoke Art. 5 on Climate Change
NewsBusters ^ | 8/3/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

The Hill seems willing to publish almost anything if it stinks of the eco-nuttiness of the hard left, even if it involves comparing the hyped-up threats of climate change to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The outlet published a bonkers op-ed headlined, “Climate change is a unifying threat — NATO should enact Article 5 to combat it.” The author, Deborah Brosnan & Associates President and Founder Deborah Brosnan, wrongly named the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as the “The North Atlantic Treaty Alliance” before speculating whether the intergovernmental organization should “consider climate change as a full-fledged assault on our communities, nations and planet.” She continued down the wormhole: “[I]nstead of a voluntary pledge NATO attacked climate change under its existing charter to create a secure world, and support allies. In other words: What if NATO invoked Article 5?” Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which was intended as a response to armed attacks by hostile states, stipulates: “Collective defence means that an attack against one Ally is considered as an attack against all Allies.” Brosnan then had the audacity to compare the threat of climate change to that of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Gun confiscation and climate insanity are in the queue, and they will make this C19 stuff look like child’s play.

Sorry, but count me out - nuking China and India (which is the ONLY way to meaningful carbon reduction) is simply not worth the loss of innocent life.

***Gun confiscation and climate insanity are in the queue,***

They have been in the queue for the last fifty two years. Back then it was handgun control hysteria and THE COMING ICE AGE!

When that failed, they made a grab for rifles(something they said they would NEVER do), and changed from ice age fear to GLO-BULL WARMING!

Insane,Myers,mr they were serious or sincere.

Not insane in using it was a means for their totalitarianism.

Project Veritas showed how climate is going to be the new touch pushed by the media in the same manner anti-Trump propaganda was pushed.

Let’s make Washington DC the model for resolving the climate change issue. Make Washington DC a green city. All vehicles have to be electric, all buildings will have to be run on alternative power sources. Any product containing plastic is forbidden.

Do that and monitor the results for five years. If the climate in DC changes for the better, let’s do it with a bigger city. But they better hurry up. We only have 9.26 years left.
