The Trump administration will reverse course from previous Obama administration policy, eliminating climate change from a list of national security threats. The National Security Strategy to be released on Monday will emphasize the importance of balancing energy security with economic development and environmental protection, according to a source who has seen the document and shared excerpts of a late draft.
Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system, a draft of the National Security Strategy slated to be released on Monday said. U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an anti-growth, energy agenda that is detrimental to U.S. economic and energy security interests. Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people out of poverty.

14 Dec: WashingtonFreeBeacon: Elizabeth Harrington: Bernie Sanders Hits Trump as Commander In Chief Over Climate Change
Socialist says climate change ‘could severely jeopardize our military readiness’
Sanders returned to the subject again after the recent release of a Government Accountability Office report that revealed the Pentagon does not track the costs of weather effects on overseas installations because “there is no requirement” to do so...
“After reviewing mounting evidence from the Government Accountability Office that climate change has reduced military readiness, President Donald Trump’s administration rejected the science attributing extreme weather events to climate change as well as recommendations to monitor the effects of climate change,” Sanders’s office said...
The Pentagon “noted that currently, associating a single event to climate change is difficult and does not warrant the time and money expended in doing so.”

The climate change threat to national security is real; those who push it are a threat to national security!
