SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN: Opinion: To improve national security, we must build on measures addressing climate change
Stars and Stripes ^ | February 15, 2022 | BY SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN

The effects of climate change are well understood: rising sea levels, severe weather, devastating wildfires and crippling drought, to name a few. We also know the consequences: increased mortality, damage to infrastructure, food supply interruptions and economic hardship.

But one implication of climate change is often overlooked: threats to our national security.

In a stark assessment last fall, the National Intelligence Council said climate change will intensify risks to U.S. national security interests over the next two decades as physical effects of a warming climate mount and geopolitical tensions multiply about how to respond.

And last week the U.S. Army released its first-ever climate strategy. In that landmark document, Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth acknowledged, “Climate change threatens America’s security and is altering the geostrategic landscape as we know it.”

We are already seeing this play out at home.

Thankfully, the Biden administration recognizes the urgency and investment needed to meet the challenge. For example, climate provisions in the Build Back Better Act would help jumpstart the American clean energy economy.

We can’t wait to take action. The National Intelligence Estimate provides Congress with an important blueprint as we consider climate change policies. Now is the time to act.

Is Stars and Stripes now just a mouthpiece for the woke leadership in the country’s military?

National security = being politically woke, and suppressing all conservative opinion. The topic of actual fighting is never discussed.

The nation is begging to have its ass kicked.

When that ignorant s*** writes for the Stars and Stripes, we know that our military is officially a great pile of excrement.

Eff her and the septic tank she was born in.

“Climate change” replaced “global warming” because it better suited the propaganda needs of the control mechanisms they want to implement.

It's been leftist since I was in the service. Left in 1994.

There is no national security without border security.

To improve national security we would have to round up all the radical leftists and globalists pushing the totalitarian climate change tactics and summarily execute them all.

A friend in the army sent me a video a few years back of generals and admirals discussing global warming as a national security threat.

I told him that every single one of those officers needed to be booted out of the military. This was under Obama, as I recall.

OFFS! Hey difi, wouldn’t banning shooting guns help in your fight against climate change? After all, they produce heat when fired. You could kill two birds with one stone. Oh, BTW, did you ever sell your YUGE property up at Lake Tahoe? I really don’t like these people.

Interesting, ... I'm sure this is a reprint from Red Star-Hammer & Sickle Magazine ...
