The Pentagon released a report Monday asserting decisively that climate change poses an immediate threat to national security, with increased risks from terrorism, infectious disease, global poverty and food shortages. It also predicted rising demand for military disaster response as extreme weather creates more global humanitarian crises.
The report lays out a road map for how the military will adapt to rising sea levels, more violent storms and widespread droughts. The Defense Department will begin by integrating plans for climate change risks across all of its operations, from war games and strategic defense planning situations to a rethinking of the movement of supplies.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking Monday at a summit meeting of defense ministers in Peru, highlighted the report’s findings and the global security threats of climate change.

“The loss of glaciers will strain water supplies in several areas of our hemisphere,” Mr. Hagel said. “Destruction and devastation from hurricanes can sow the seeds for instability. Droughts and crop failures can leave millions of people without any lifeline, and trigger waves of mass migration.”

No smoking hot spot1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
Apparently someone @ DoD is in desperate need for funding...and will use this excuse to get it...how pathetic

ISIS has to be laughing at us- or they would if they were smarter and not so busy cutting off heads and raping right now
Somebody is looking at the wrong crystal ball.
When we in the military encountered Obama-level folks (e.g., those who really didn’t fit anywhere), we’d send them off to HQ to do idiotic stuff like the above article.
Whoever that person is, remember that the ONLY place they’ll get hired when they leave the military is someplace that has no need of talent, ability, or creativeness.
In other words, they’ll become a liberal democrat office holder.
Globull warring.
This was released directly by the kenyan by way of his personal dicklicker at defense, UpChuck Hagel.
Terms like “low point” or “nadir” are inadequate to describe the depths to which the military has fallen under this buffoon.
Time to fumigate the Pentagon.
Chuck Hagel is the complete useful idiot.
But if we already sent the millitary to fight ebola, what branches of the millitary are left to track down Global Warming and double tap it?

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan
If anyone truly wants any chance at fixing this daily dose of nonsense, get the democrats out of power, NOW, and keep them out. Bring justice to the bastards that have been doing their best to destroy this country.
I’m sure the Pentagon, no less, came to this conclusion without Whitehouse interference.
