21 Feb: Reuters: White House readies panel to question security risks of climate
by Timothy Gardner
The White House is readying a presidential panel that would question U.S. military and intelligence reports showing human-driven climate change poses risks to national security, according to a document seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
The effort comes as President Donald Trump seeks to expand U.S. production of crude oil, natural gas, and coal, and unwind regulatory hurdles on doing so...

The panel, to be formed by an executive order by Trump, would be headed by William Happer, a retired Princeton University physics professor currently on the White House’s National Security Council.
Happer disagrees with mainstream climate science and believes that emissions of the main greenhouse gas that scientists blame for climate change – carbon dioxide – benefits the planet by helping plants grow…

“These scientific and national security judgements have not undergone a rigorous independent and adversarial scientific peer review to examine the certainties and uncertainties of climate science, as well as implications for national security,” the document said…
The White House is holding a meeting on Feb. 22 in the situation room to discuss an upcoming executive order by Trump to set up the committee, made up of 12 or fewer people, said the document, dated Feb. 14. The document was first reported by the Washington Post...

Um... this isn’t a belief. It is scientific fact, determined by experiment and observation. Plants do, in fact, use CO2. In turn, everything else that consumes plants directly or indirectly incorporates CO2 into their bodies in the form of lipids, carbohydrates, and protein. The misguided efforts to remove CO2 from the atmosphere is actually removal of biomass.

The efforts to control climate by getting rid of CO2 are very literally an existential threat to life on earth.
