Bill ties climate to national security
Boston Globe ^ | April 9, 2007 | Boston Globe

Posted on 04/09/2007 5:08:20 PM PDT by plain talk

The CIA and Pentagon would for the first time be required to assess the national security implications of climate change under proposed legislation intended to elevate global warming to a national defense issue. The bipartisan proposal, which its sponsors expect to pass the Congress with wide support, calls for the director of national intelligence to conduct the first-ever "national intelligence estimate" on global warming. The effort would include pinpointing the regions at highest risk of humanitarian suffering and assessing the likelihood of wars erupting over diminishing water and other resources.

Can we beat Global Warming with a good pre-emptive strike?

"...17,000 scientists declare that global warming is a lie...
Science is not done by consensus. All but one scientist
scientists can be wrong.

Corrected it. They can ALL be wrong: "science" (other than its original sense of "knowledge", as opposed to the current "how things REALLY work) doesn't require ANYBODY to be correct.

I assume you mean Loose Cannon McCain, who is worried about “global warming”. I think all the “leading candidates” stink.

“Can we beat Global Warming with a good pre-emptive strike?”

It may already have been done. It’s freezing here in NC. The average temperatures for April where I live is a high of 70 and a low of 41. Today’s temperatures have been a high of 52 and a low of 29. Where the heck is the global warming? Bring it on! No global warming, no golf.
Also, have you noticed that for the past three weeks while the entire country is freezing its collective butt off there has been nothing, zip, zero, nada, about global warming in the national or local press? What happened?

What little is left of our defenses would be diluted by this criminal nonsense. The November Criminals.

How come poverty is not a National Security issue ? And universal healthcare ? And jobs for all..

You left out traitorous Democrats making illegal trips to places like Syria. We really are living in the Looking Glass land.

We have SOoooo many morons in congress.

The best and brightest rarely run for office. Why should they, when they can make more money on the outside, and usually do it *honestly*.

Idiot with Gift of Gab = Congressman.

I suppose we better be grateful for the half decent ones we have, though. In AZ we have Jon Kyl, better than most.

Like wise, ALL scientists can be correct. What’s your point? Did you watch the video presentation based on the paper that the 17,000 scientists signed a petion on?

Reading about this legislation is causing me to suffer humanitarianally.

Nice work, thanks for the ping. Paraphrasing another FReeper:

Hagel = Idiot.

Your website for traditional Anglican faith is awesome! Great work!

I just recently read the Augsberg Confession and I was blown away. What a wonderful doctrine of faith. No wonder CS Lewis stayed in the church. Beautiful!
