Forget Climate Change, Defend America!

George Orwell, call your office.

Is Climate Change a National Security Threat? The Answer Is Blowin’ in the (Political) Wind

Let me see if I understand this. For the under President Obama, climate alarmists kept telling us that since the Administration officially said climate change was a threat to national security, we had to believe it, because … government says so, that’s why.
