US Defense dept warns of danger from climate change

This scares me. Makes me think they're getting us ready for the storm they know is coming.

Didn't the CIA name C.C. as the biggest threat to the country a while ago? But until lots of people start dying we'll keep dragging our feet.

they do what the president tells them to do period the earth was recently covered in ice all the way to the equator it melted WHY??

For all you misinformed naysayers:

Some theories, like evolution, are slow in rising up and slapping you on your arse for not realizing the truth.

Climate change (once again, it is not weather) on the other hand is evident now, slapping you on the arse, and it will slap you children and grandchildren in the face.

Perhaps then you will wake up and smell the coffee. Climate scientists have nothing to gain by telling the truth - their university salaries don't depend on it and their funding is for research not their salary; however, the Becksters and Rushgoobs of the world have much to gain by denying the truth, maintaining that bottom line for their industrial backers.

And for all you climategaters still hanging on that sad bag, substituting real world temperatures into figures about tree rings because tree ring density has declined due to global warming and pollution may be a statistical "trick", but it is still the truth, even more so.

And how is reducing emissions or CO2 and pollutants controlling your life? How many of you so called Christians realize that not cleaning up industry and car emissions and nurturing species that are dying because of humans is diametrically opposed to what your God told you to do?

yea, heard about this in January, quite old. Quite interesting, it's mostly about water-wars

The whole thing is a scam , global warming is a big lie, they want to control our lives thats the whole idea.

yup. HUGE. They claim the cost is only about 25-50 billion a year. Why not take the money and spend it on solar panels????

wow. this is huge.

yes and it's for this very reason that they are spraying our skies with aerosol sprays in a pathetic attempt to combat global warming. it's called GEO ENGINEERING. Google it

So how much more money does the Pentagon need to protect us from Global Warming? I am sure the Defense Department wants more money so they can update our intercontinental ballistic missiles to be equipped with the latest CO2 diffusion technology.

we gotta fix the planet ourselves.

I say we round up all those pinko commie climate change scientists and send 'em to Gitmo.

I would figure that, given the amount of money the military-industrial complex swindles each year from U.S. Taxpayers, the Department of Defense would be announcing that our national debt and deficit spending measures pose a greater threat to national security than Iran, Al Qaeda, North Korea and climate change.

Well anyone with a glimmer of logic can figure out that climate change is going to have a huge impact of geopolitical relations. I guarantee that we will see conflicts over access to fresh water within the next 50 years.

Those "scientists" on Fox aren't actually scientists, they're paid political spokespeople.

True scientists are taught to look at the evidence objectively and then form parsimonious conclusions; not form a conclusion then lie about the evidence.

Truly practicing the scientific method inherently breeds at least a modicum of honesty and integrity.

GOP Tea Party responds with heated response that "the DOD does NOT have a US birth certificate. Why won't they show it?"

I doubt if any part of this story will even touch the main stream media. Even if it did Fox News would have ten of their scientists on air ASAP to give rebuttal to this report.
