President Obama will use a Wednesday speech to highlight his view that climate change is one of the most significant military threats to the United States and the world.
Obama will argue in his address to graduates at the United States Coast Guard Academy that the fight against climate change is a fight for global peace and against the conflicts that lead to war, the White House said in a preview of his remarks.
I am here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security, and, make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country, Obama will tell the new Coast Guard officers, according to the White House. And so we need to act and we need to act now.
A White House official said the speech will demonstrate how climate change poses immediate risks to our national security, contributing to increased natural disasters and resulting in humanitarian crises, and potentially increasing refugee flows and exacerbating conflicts over basic resources like food and water.
The White House is also releasing Wednesday an 11-page report on the national security implications of climate change, aggregating information from various federal reports on the subject.
Obama has highlighted security implications of climate change in recent months to drum up more support for his efforts to invest in climate adaptation and reduce greenhouse gases, including a landmark regulation to limit carbon from power plants.
In addition to the international problems that a changing climate can cause, Obama has argued the effects of climate change threaten military facilities and readiness.
The White House said in February that climate change threatens more people than terrorism, a position that has proven extremely controversial.
It led Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, to make a now-famous speech on the Senate floor in which he threw a snowball to draw attention to Obamas comparison between terrorism and climate change.
THIS MR. PRESIDENT, IS THE MILITARY THREAT!
No, Mr. O—YOU are the threat to our security!
Is he serious? Does he believe that, or is it just a position he takes to advocate for more government control?
Dont be fooled. Those savages are carrying flags promoting “climate change.”
Refugee flows in N America are the result of Obama's promised feebies to anyone and everyone that can swim across the 3' deep Rio Grande.
To quote that insipid poser "make no mistake"; climate change is a Trojan Horse and like the Trojan condoms it will be used to screw the independent American citizen out of our rights and our wealth.
To advocate for more government control. Global government control being the ultimate goal of course.
On what evidence is any such thing true?
Here is the worst in my opinion:
The Obama trade bill now being voted in Congress is the worst bill EVER. Just read some of the links I post here below if you dont believe it.
This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.Its disguised as free trade What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...

Its Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty for the entire 3rd world.
This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these conservative Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. Its the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

global warming is not the threat as Barack Obama is the threat to America and freedom. Obama is the enemy of America and freedom:
Barak Obama is the threat to America and freedom and our jobs. Barack Obama is THE enemy
I will henceforth refer to Preezy Obola as President Climate Change.
Not to mention padding the DemocRAT voter base.
Aren’t satire articles supposed to be plainly labeled? /satire
There is NO “man-made climate change”!
Contrary assertions are a hoax and political actions pretending to address the hoax are the security threat.
OBAMA IS THE ENEMA.
GW post of the day!
Believing lies and delusions is the most serious threat of all. Colluding with others to advance lies and delusions is evil that history will teach to many future generations.
The Left has been peddling this “state of fear” in the schools since the 70s - remember when panda bears first started appearing on yogurt cups? That’s when this effort took off in earnest.
You are correct. Although a good argument can be made that the voters who put him in office are the greater military threat.
