US: More threats, more desperate refugees as climate warms
The Associated Press ^ | October 21, 2021 | By JULIE WATSON, ELLEN KNICKMEYER and NOMAAN MERCHANT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Earth’s warming and resulting natural disasters are creating a more dangerous world of desperate leaders and peoples, the Biden administration said Thursday in the federal government’s starkest assessments yet of security and migration challenges facing the United States as the climate worsens.

The Defense Department for years has called climate change a threat to U.S. national security. But Thursday’s reports by the departments of Defense and Homeland Security, National Security Council and Director of National Intelligence provide one of the government’s deepest looks yet at the vast rippling effects on the world’s stability and resulting heightened threats to U.S. security, as well as its impact on migration.

They include the first assessment by intelligence agencies on the impact of climate change, identifying 11 countries of greatest concern from Haiti to Afghanistan.

Another report, the first by the government focusing at length on climate and migration, recommends a number of steps, including monitoring the flows of people forced to leave their homes because of natural disasters, and working with Congress on a groundbreaking plan that would add droughts, floods and wildfires and other climate-related reasons to be considered in granting refugee status.

The climate migration assessments urge the creation of a task force to coordinate U.S. management of climate change and migration across government, from climate scientists to aid and security officials.

For Pete’s sake, this nonsense has risen to the level of
mental brittleness for the weak minded among us.

There is absolutely NO CHOICE but to roll over and let them all in. After all, it’s “inevitable”. And, of course, we need to immediately put the on the Dole.

That is the mindset we are dealing with. Zero regard for the US taxpayer — whose concerns come dead last.

Atlanta GA averages 46 days of 90 degree weather a year.

We had 18 this year.

Only in the mind of the narcissistic Political Left is climate all about them

I'll have to take that on advisement.

I don't get accused of that very often, so I need to give it
thought.

“Zero regard for the US taxpayer — whose concerns come dead last.”

And this is WHY, at every opportunity, I have BEGGED FReepers to get their fiscal houses in order, pay attention to the taxes they must pay via illegal government confiscation or face arrest and prosecution, but to NOT PAY ONE PENNY MORE!

But, few listen to me. :)

You think things will get ANY better? Well, you’re a fool if you do. When it comes to illegals, for DECADES ‘our betters’ have been merely stemming the tide when up for re-election; there is no reversing it, and they never intend there to be.

We. Are. On. Our. Own. :(
