Some retired military people promote the greatest scientific fraud in history
"Increasing demand for, and dwindling supplies of, fossil fuels will lead to conflict. In addition, the effects of global climate change will pose serious threats to water supplies and agricultural production, leading to intense competition for essentials," said MAB member Vice Admiral (ret.) Dennis McGinn, former commander of the U.S. Third Fleet, and deputy chief of Naval Operations, Warfare Requirements and Programs. "The U.S. cannot assume that we will be untouched by these conflicts. We have to understand how these conflicts could play out, and prepare for them."Twitter / Justina
The MAB, which produced the landmark 2007 report "National Security and the Threat of Climate Change" is comprised of retired 2,3- and 4-star flag and general officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. The board includes a former Army Chief of Staff, Commanders of U.S. forces in global regions, a former shuttle astronaut and NASA administrator, and experts in energy, planning, deployment, procurement and logistics.
done studying tonight! Can't take any more bout phytoplankton, natural capital degradation, climate change causes & population growth ratesJoseph Romm (Climate Progress): Costs of “Strong Climate Action” Negligible–(But does he understate IPCC’s cost estimate by 95%?) — MasterResource
In a provocative post, Joe Romm argues that even “strong climate action” would be well worth the effort. Yet Romm’s claim that stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases at 445–535 ppm (CO2-eq) would cost only “one tenth of a penny on the dollar” (through 2050) understates the IPCC’s actual cost estimate by about 95%. In reality, the IPCC’s reported estimate translates into a mitigation cost of about 2.2 cents on the dollar–far far higher than Romm’s figure. Romm’s mistake has nothing to do with climate science: he simply confuses the rate of growth in income, with income itself.

The military is itself one of the most energy wasting enterprises ever (imagine a chinook helicopter being used to commute instead of a sedan everyday, Imagine super-heavy Hummers called Humvees with A/C running at full throttle in the desert, driving around just for patrols, then you know exactly what's going on in the war zones).
But it knows which side its bread is buttered on. The democrats had the purse strings in hand for years already but astonishingly kept on funding, funding funding and funding the wars Bush had started with massive $1 trillion budgets and lots of extra pork thrown in every few months. So now they do as they're told and go along with the climate change / carbon deception.
