The warmongers are at it again. In case you haven’t heard, the Pentagon has declared a global war on global warming. It’s our armed forces vs. the forces of nature, and we are the enemy. Those entrusted with protecting us from suicide bombers are now trying to protect the environment from us.
In mid-October, the Pentagon released its “Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap,” which lays out the military’s plan to deal with the effects of global warming. “Climate change,” says the report, “will affect the Department of Defense’s ability to defend the Nation and poses immediate risks to U.S. national security.” Among those immediate risks is “a projected sea-level rise of 1.5 feet over the next 20 to 50 years.” It is important to remember that 50 years from now is 50 years from now, which is hardly “immediate.”
