   The only national security threat I see is Kerry, Algore and the other dumbocrats who are trying to take control of our great nation.

   Ah yes, the old kitchen sink defense.

   These people know that they have a once in a generation total control of the government and to get their precious communist control of every aspect of our lives they are throwing the kitchen sink at their faltering plans.

   Fight them on every issue.

   The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.

   Military interventions are very effective at controlling storms, drought, and disease. /sarc

   Recent war games and intelligence studies conclude that over the next 20 to 30 years, vulnerable regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia, will face the prospect of food shortages, water crises and catastrophic flooding driven by climate change that could demand an American humanitarian relief or military response…

   What is new about that? Those are the same problems those same areas have had for 60-70 years.

   Global warming will be a threat when our defense is based on sailing ships and electric planes.

    Create a crisis/enemy and frighten the population in allowing the politicians to nationalize businesses, take away the people’s freedom, and raise taxes to the max.;the old con game, like the Nigerian scam, that keeps working year after year.

    Wouldn’t the national security threat be best solved by drilling new oil wells and building coal to liquids refineries? A few nuclear power plants wouldn’t hurt either.

    These idiots can’t predict the weather 3 or 4 days out and their hurricane predictions are even worse. Why would anyone believe their hysteria over global warming.

    I read where 10 of our elected representative went on a fact finding tour to very exotic places in the world to the tune of $500,000.00 – 6 Democrats and 4 Republicans – to see the effects of global warming. No need to believe the experts. These members of Congress had to see it first hand.

    global warming as a national security threat:

    D-I-S-T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N……don’t fall for it!

    Look who is promoting this…John “Gengis Khan” Kerry. He, and his wife, Terror-esa, have been vocal supporters of socialized health care over the years. The Heinz Corporation is one of the biggest producers of CO2 in the world. They don’t live a “green” lifestyle. Hypocracy!

    Is the healthcare their corporation provides for their employees not adequate? If so, these compassionate employers should probably give up a few of their homes, vacations, cars, etc., and use the money to better help provide for those who create their wealth.

    So I wonder, how can our military get into the spirit of its new mission?

    - The Navy can enact a “Cash-for-Carriers” program, and use the proceeds for all those “recycled” flat-tops to invest in green technology: sail-boats. We can assign them to clean up that big mass of plastic floating in the north Pacific.

    - The Air Force can park its fleet of carbon-based fuel polluters and protect our cities with helium-filled barrage balloons.

    - The Army … well, what do we need them for anyway, when everyone in the world loves us now? Think of the cost savings!

    - The Marines? We can equip them with bull-whips and order them to lash back the rising sea-levels.

    I feel safer already!

    As a former Marine Sergeant, I say bring on any new or old-fashioned weaponry. If it works, let’s use it. If not, Murtha’s pork-spending will subsidize it.

    (Sorry for all the ellipses; I’m just practicing to be a member of the liberal MSM.)

    I’m willing to bet that most of the food shortages and water crises that are affecting Africa are caused by socialist governments like those in Zimbabwe. So this means we’ll be shipping tons of grain to Zimbabwe to “feed everyone.” Mugabe will take the grain and hold it for ransom. The socialist elites will get fed first, with a stage production of feeding a few that need it so the government can look good.

    This is just another way for the socialists in this country to force the intelligent people to subsidize socialism around the world.

    Good article, WernerP. Whenever some global warming nazi tries to intimdate me into “believing,” I just point them to this speech by the late Michael Crichton. To me, it’s a must read.

    To paraphrase Michael Crichton from “State of Fear” -
    Climate change is cyclical – i.e., not man-caused! Man can do nothing to change the Earth’s climate, and to posit that CO2 is causing global warming is simply unscientific. Imagine our atmosphere as a football field. Starting from the North goal line, Nitrogen takes us 78 yds to the South 22 yd line. Oxygen then takes us all the way to the South 1 yd line. Only one yd to go, and almost all of that is the inert gas Argon, which brings us to within 3 1/2 inches of the goal line – and ONLY 1 inch of that is CO2. That’s 1 inch of CO2 out of 3,600 ins., i.e., less that 0.00028!

    The Global Warming Hoax IS a national security threat.

    The Democratic Socialist Communists use the hoax of global warming to make people think that oil is bad and that we shouldn’t be accessing our own super-abundant oil supplies in ANWR, oil sale, and offshore. The USA has more than three times the proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. We could be an oil EXPORTER.

    The Communists are allowed to drill for oil just off the coasts of Cuba and Key West, but Communists in our own government won’t let us “Drill, Baby, Drill!”

    That keeps us dependent on foreign oil, which is a national security risk.
