House Oversight Committee to Hold Hearings on Trump Failure to Deal with... Climate Change

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 8, 2019) Tomorrow the House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), will conduct hearings on the interconnected challenges of solving climate change and protecting national security. With the Trump administration ignoring longstanding warnings from the military about the impact of a changing climate on defense infrastructure and the dangers of increased instability, it is a critically important area for investigation for the Congress. The hearing follows a letter by fifty-eight senior national security officials warning about the dangers of climate change.

"For more than a decade, the Department of Defense has warned presidents from both parties about the threat climate change poses to national security and to our troops," said Elizabeth Gore, Senior Vice President for Political Affairs at Environmental Defense Fund. "It is reckless to ignore the impact of climate change. We are grateful to Chairman Cummings for convening this hearing and are particularly pleased that former Sens. John Kerry and Chuck Hagel are lending their bipartisan expertise to this critical matter."

Our entire government, excluding Trump, is utterly useless and without point.

Leftists are all about placing blame for all things, real and make believe, onto others.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Climate change can’t be controlled by humans.

Unless the humans can control the sun.

Have not seen, to date, any rational action that would affect climate change. (Can't even really identify if there is warming or cooling going on.)

Unless we figure out how to control the sun, we are just here for the ride.

Obamby fixed it. He said that we’d be able to look back and see that moment when the oceans began to get lower.

Elijah Cumstain just makes bullstalin up.

China and India are increasing their pollution. World’s gonna “die” whether the US changes its activity or not.

As the Marxist Left is willing to make excuses and exceptions for the leading polluters as they continue to increase their output, the lie is exposed.

It is merely anti-Western rhetoric by naked globalist scumbags.

This is what happens when the Dems are in charge.

The border is not important, but climate change is an urgent problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

We must take back the House from the Dems next election.

“Solving climate change” - what a laugh. These idiots are so arrogant as to assume
they determine the fate of the earth. I think that’s a bit over their pay grade.

Climate change is a major threat to America! Just the other day, climate change raped then murdered a woman here. Climate change should not be here and the dems/leftists using our tax dollars to protect climate change from our laws should be removed from office.

There is “consensus” among Dims that spending government money can cool the climate. DOD would be most gratified to receive their check.
