The Pentagon has AGAIN stated the denial of the Climate Crisis is causing danger to the USA.

“Climate change (click here) 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.”For sake of context, some members of the U.S. Congress still deny the existence of climate change, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But the Pentagon’s assessment is that global warming is not only real, but also a civilizational threat, as stated in sobering language in the past three QDRs.

Climate change is not a benign activity of Earth. Climate change is accompanied by severe weather resulting in food, water and housing crisis. Those same crisis are not limited to the USA, but, nations unable to recover from it. When a country is no longer able to care for it's citizens, the sovereignty of the nation falls into question.
