Climate change will affect the Department of Defense's ability to defend the Nation and poses immediate risks to U.S. national security.

Do we contribute? Yes. How much? There's the rub. Interesting thing is the Sun appears headed for its periodic quiet time by 2030 which takes us into the mini ice age period. So by the time we're out of it, hopefully technology that's affordable and makes sense will lessen our planetary footprint. Unrestrained population growth will be dampened by the limited food supply. So about the year 3000, we can harvest the trees to make real Stradivarius instruments again. The shape and glues have been long figured out. It's just the wood doesn't exist right now to make that sound.

No. It's a monetary scheme created by lazy pseudo scientists who get paid with taxpayer funded grants. They appeal to greedy politicians who want more tax revenue who in turn give more grant money. It's a mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationship.

I'm happy to see we are not all believing the global warming alarmists, and that there are still folks who evaluate things.

Can't you articulate your reasoning behind the downvote civilian Jacob? Since this is a site primarily for Military and veterans, the common unspoken rule is downvotes are reserved for inappropriate behavior. My opinion is not inappropriate.

The oceans around America Samoa are six to ten degrees warmer than water 25 miles out.Wonder if it could be that being surrounded by active under water volcanoes might be the reason.

Climate has always changed over time and started long before humans were influencing it and will continue long after we're gone. The very premise that it's a danger arrogantly presumes there is an optimal climate; that we can influence it; that we caused it. If only we as a species were that powerful. The agenda driven politics of the environmental movement, citing narratives over science with rear-religious fervor, is far more of a threat to the nation than climate itself. The struggle has far more to do with political power and control of grant dollars than it does climate or weather as scientific issues.

OK running up the BS flag! If Global Warming, ever becomes a threat to national security we're all toast. LMAO

Good, glad you called BS. My graphic was a bait for Global Warming alarmists who like to use proxies (like hurricanes and tornadoes) as a means to support their argument. They never mention when these proxies go down, of course.

Col Joseph Lenertz I am about ready to go off! LOL But seriously they minimize the utility of forecasting from the picture because as the guy said from the Weather Channel. It is wrong.. lol

I don't believe in global cooling, warming, or whatever they keep changing the name to. I call it weather.

SPC Patrick Gearardo Your belief is irrelevant in the face of overwhelming scientific data. Plenty of people believe that humans and dinosaurs lived on earth at the same time.

SGT Adam Travis, when Scientists fake or alter data to apease the climate agenda, I can't help that people believe everything they hear. Al jazeera Gore's professor who came out and said that the data is not correct and there is no global warming. But, just because the media doesn't run with THAT story, it stays in the shadows. Don't you remember when we were told that we were going to be in an ice age by now? So, did they just alter their science to make global warming a fact? How come the global warming activists are quiet during winters? What about the activists that got stuck in ice when there wasn't supposed to be any ice and they had to be rescued? There are plenty of TRUE stories that you can see with your eyeballs that goes against whatever data they make up. Record snow in the NE this year. Must be global warming effects. More rain, dryest summer, coldest winter.....it doesn't matter what they name it...to me, it's weather. Why do you think they changed it to climate change now? Because they can't prove that there is any global warming. NOW, they covered hot and cold with climate change! That's just like re-naming illegal immigrants, undocumented workers. Changing the name doesn't do anything to make it better. All the crooks in the world who have illegal guns, let's just call them undocumented guns. Yeah, that sounds better.

I'm sure Californians are paying attention now.
Maybe not an "immediate" threat to National Security but certainly a threat. Water wars used to be a sci-fi topic, nowadays, less fiction and more science.

Yes, but let's also remember what Southern California was 100 years ago...a desert. The 0.3-0.6 degree increase in global temperature hasn't turned a desert into an non-desert...it's still a desert...but the enormous population growth there in the last 100 years has created an ever-increasing demand for water, not global warming.

If California would start using reservoirs like everybody else they wouldn't have a water problem. They are wasting 300 million gallons by not preserving it because some tree huggers are trying to save a fish. Nothing to do with global warming.
