Never mind that obsessing over climate change never has helped us and never will help us win any war.
Speaking to American troops at RAF Mildenhall, England, on his trip to Europe, President Biden recounted an exchange with the Joint Chiefs as vice president: "This is not a joke. You know what the Joint Chiefs told us the greatest threat facing America was? Global warming." Those comments were the latest in a Pentagon policy redux to return climate change to Obama-era status that it is an "urgent and growing threat to our national security."
This began only days after inauguration, when President Biden signed several executive orders again elevating climate change to a national priority. The Pentagon soon followed suit, stating that it would begin incorporating climate risk analysis into modeling, simulation, war-gaming, analysis, and the next National Defense Strategy. "There is little about what the [Defense] Department does to defend the American people that is not affected by climate change," defense secretary Lloyd Austin declared. "It is a national security issue, and we must treat it as such."
This shift reverses Trump administration policy that removed climate change from the list of global threats to the U.S. Implications are that Biden administration security policy will give climate change status on par with more traditional and conventional threats like great power competition, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation, while declaring that the danger it poses overshadows more pressing threats.
But do world events — present or past — support claims of climate change influencing the global security environment? Does the still uncertain and questionable science of climate change meet the threshold to influence, even justify, Pentagon decision-making involving investments, acquisitions, policy, and infrastructure potentially costing billions of dollars?
Existing national security threats — e.g., great power competition, cyber-attacks, piracy, weapons of mass...

Like you were saying...
Our military is weak from our woke generals. Someday all of America will despise them for being so weak as men.
Since when is Assad an American antagonist?
When slow joe starts his line of bullshit with, "This is not a joke", look out.
I cannot imagine how any demonRAT can stand to listen to anything that joe says without cringing.
The VP does not have dementia, but she is more of a communist than joe is, and that kackkkle.
Why do scientists think that Mother Nature can't take care of itself. And since when is the Universe supposed to stand still?
Ten bucks says that “climate change” is never discussed at Red China’s “Pentagon”. Ditto North Korea’s...and Iran’s.
This is the weather forecast for where I live, Long Island New York. We are coming into July which is the hottest month of the year, where it USE to get into the 90s easily....
Temps listed daytime/nighttime
Monday - 85/71
Tuesday - 90/71
Wednesday - 86/68
Thursday - 82/66
Friday - 75/63
Saturday - 74/63
Sunday - 75/64
This is JUST like last year! It’s NOT getting hotter but COLDER! I’ve been living here all my life, I’m 60 I remember when I was a kid it was always easily going into the 90s and it would be unrelenting, very rarely going below that in the day time. Now we got temps routinely going all the way down into the 70s! Where are these carbon emissions making it hotter? Only two months ago I was in Boston where it was SNOWING!!!
But, but, but. There are all-time record highs this week in Portland. We have been having a mild summer in Texas as well. Rain all this week. We haven’t even made it to 100 yet.
I’m reminded of where Caligula went to war with the SEA.
It is that kind of stupid, insane, and immoral that we are seeing out of the left now.

When I served in the Army I came to the false conclusion that I had to be a genius because the officer corps was filled with idiots. As I grew older I jettisoned the genius bit, but I have never jettisoned the belief that for the most part officers are idiots. In Vietnam it was Westmoreland. Then the perfect example was the media-described “genius” Petraeus; a more modern example is Milley. And on it goes. And on it will go.
Okay, well, surely they are scared straight about the dangers of white supremacy, or the need to make sure the Arab world is recognized for its contributions to modern science, right?
“Military Intelligence”
Bring back Chesty Puller and George Patton.
What, and make Milley cry like a baby.
I hate being right on these things.
Well stated.
