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.

Stopped buying it after I read “BY SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN”
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.
To have better scrambled eggs, we must build on measures addressing climate change.
To read books faster, we must build on measures addressing climate change.
To help your cat lose weight, we must build on measures addressing climate change.
Just go away, senile hag.
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.
Who wrote this stupid article for this wretched, decrepit dog who probably doesn’t even know her own name anymore?
“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.
Fake climate change 🤪
Saw who the author was and stopped right there.
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.
“To improve national security, we must build on measures addressing climate change”
Because hubby and I make millions from it!

I love China
Her new chauffer.
Interesting, ... I'm sure this is a reprint from Red Star-Hammer & Sickle Magazine ...
