re: #35 Rocky-in-Connecticut

I wonder if any US Military head honchos are going to stand up and get in Trump’s ear about how they rely on NASA Climate Science to formulate long term strategies and asset acquisition plans. With the North Pole opening up, a failure to recognize inevitable navigation and resource conflict possibilities is a major lapse of leadership. Trading political gifts to those parties who profit from Climate Denial for crippling our defensive capabilities goes beyond criminal.

In fact, I think it is impeachable.

The GOP has basically told the DOD to drop “global warming” and “climate change” from their vocabulary and thus from any military planning. Why? Because the DOD has been one of the bigger voices on Capital Hill about the need to plan for the changes that global warming will do to the globe. For example, the coming resource wars when nations begin fighting over limited supplies of fresh water.
