The US Defense Department has used its latest Quadrennial Defense Review to justify any ‘creative’ solutions for ‘climate change’ the government wants to pour tax dollars into. The report suggests the U.S. military will prepare to deal with “terrorist activity” caused by erratic weather.
Pentagon: Let us spend tax dollars on Obama’s pet climate change projects because: terrorism!
Remember: President Obama declared that climate change science is irrefutable, basically because he said so. If that wasn’t enough to make you smile when he tosses your money into massive projects intended to manipulate the climate, he’s hoping to associate the threat of climate change with more terrorism fear-mongering.
Like the 2006 and 2010 versions, the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) – a report released every four years on US military strategy and the challenges to its global operations – highlights threats, some more predictable than others, that global climate change will present to human civilization.“The impacts of climate change may increase the frequency, scale, and complexity of future missions, including defense support to civil authorities, while at the same time undermining the capacity of our domestic installations to support training activities,” states the 64-page report, published Tuesday.
“Climate change poses another significant challenge for the United States and the world at large. As greenhouse gas emissions increase, sea levels are rising, average global temperatures are increasing, and severe weather patterns are accelerating.”
A warming planet will likely “exacerbate water scarcity and lead to sharp increases in food costs,” the report details, leading to devastated infrastructure and living conditions, especially in poorer regions of the world.
In addition, this fierce “resource competition” will only push the likelihood of additional terror threats, the QDR states.
“The pressures caused by climate change will influence resource competition while placing additional burdens on economies, societies, and governance institutions around the world,” the report continues.
“These effects are threat multipliers that will aggravate stressors abroad such as poverty, environmental degradation, political instability, and social tensions – conditions that can enable terrorist activity and other forms of violence.”
Not only does the report leverage the public’s fear of terrorism to push for military programs to deal with climate change, it also marks a step towards expanding the definition of terrorism to include people who are hungry and destitute due to weather-induced catastrophe.

Why do they keep pouring money we don’t have into things that don’t exist…WHY???
Our top military staff accept that Global Warming happening, and the science and data behind that.
Do you think that our proud, brave and intelligent fighting men and women are idiots?
The hippies at the Pentagon are in on the scam? Seriously? Read the 2014 Quadrennial Review on AGW.
The Pentagon has the SAME view under Bush/Cheney.
Have the lefties at the US Navy joined them?? http://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2009-02/arctic-melt-reopening-naval-frontier
Either you are with or against our Troops. Looks like the people here are desperate to undermine our military and preparedness. Treasonous. You should all be ashamed.
The military has been flying and leaving those chemical Com trails this morning over Alaska, The keep doing the same Circular pattern over and over. They only do it when the weather patter is correct for them to do it. These trails stay up and take 10 time longer to dissipate. Even had a commercial jet flying SE from Anchorage and his trail was only lasting about 3 miles behind the jet, meaning only seconds. Right now there has been 3 pattern flights made. I thought this was just a hoax. Until they started doing it over Alaska,
Our government is putting up “store fronts” and laundering our tax monies for their own self-serving interests – all of which is to control other governments and our people here at home. It is the grandest criminal government scheme in the history of mankind. Just sayin’.
more excuses to spray us with more poison and commit mass murder on a scale that makes Hitler look like a boy scout.
foolish !!!
Anything this government does or says is a hoax, this gov.is the most corrupt institution in all time. I would not believe these liars if they said the sun was coming up tomorrow.
