In an address this week to U.S. military forces at the Royal Air Force base in Mildenhall, England, President Joe Biden tried to convince troops climate change is “the greatest threat facing America.”
“You know, when I went over in the Tank in the Pentagon, when I first was elected Vice President, with President Obama, the military sat us down to let us know what the greatest threats facing America were — the greatest physical threats,” Biden said. “And this is not a joke: You know what the Joint Chiefs told us the greatest threat facing America was? Global warming. Because there’ll be significant population movements, fights over land, millions of people leaving places because they’re literally sinking below the sea in Indonesia; because of the fights over what is arable land anymore.”
While some might be shocked at such a claim — one that ignores a whole host of legitimate foreign and domestic threats facing America today — Biden’s rhetoric aligns with his prior remarks, as well as the sentiments from his administration.
In October 2020, in an interview with Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior advisor in the Obama administration, Biden said climate change is the “number one issue facing humanity.” Forget Russia, Communist China, the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, the Black Lives Matter organization, Antifa, Islamic terrorism, or the nation’s suicide and mental health crisis. There is no shortage of items more threatening than an issue both highly politicized and steeped in ambiguous science.
Vice President Kamala Harris noted in her May commencement speech at the Naval Academy that there are three notable threats our military will be tasked to deal with: COVID-19 and preventing pandemics, intelligence hacking, and — you guessed it — climate change. Of course, Harris has yet to take seriously her role as a world leader, and America eagerly awaits her presence as border liaison.
Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin testified Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee soon after Biden’s address. Foreseeably placed in an odd position by the president, Milley was unwilling to take a firm stance against Biden.
“The president is looking at it from a much broader angle than I am,” Milley testified. “I’m looking at it from a strictly military standpoint. And from a strictly military standpoint, I’m putting China and Russia up there.”
But in a more clear fashion, Austin aligned with Biden. Indeed, his opening statement mentioned the phrase “climate change” 15 times. It was nothing out of left field for the defense secretary, however. After all, it was Austin who spoke at the Leaders Summit on Climate in April and called climate change an “existential threat.”
“Today, no nation can find lasting security without addressing the climate crisis. We face all kinds of threats in our line of work, but few of them truly deserve to be called existential. The climate crisis does,” Austin said, in addition to, “climate change is making the world more unsafe and we need to act.”
Milley and Austin’s remarks are more guarded than Biden and Harris’s but still point to a White House inadequately communicating what represents the greatest crisis facing the United States. Still, while migrants cross the border in numbers unseen in decades, the White House blames climate change for the surge instead of its Remain in Mexico repeal and flimsy stance that signals to illegals that they will face fewer consequences for breaking the law in Biden’s America.
Biden has been more focused on appeasing the far-left wing of the party that thinks we will drop dead if we don’t start devouring insects or buying exorbitant electric cars.
So… climate change is the greatest threat to national security? Then why does idiot Biden and the rest of the world allow China, also a MILITARY and ECONOMIC threat, continue to build coal-fired energy plants and pollute at maximum rate? Also, depending on who the idiot is trying to remember his lines for, racism, white supremacy, China or Russia are the greatest threats. All this exposes the fact that idiots like Biden and his anti-American party are the greatest threat to this country.
Biden like all Liberal democrats bases everything on Politics not science as well as Money if there was no Money and Politics involved we would,nt be seeing or hearing a thing about Climate Change/Global Warming. the Bore just wants Money and so dose Greenpeace they need to keep their two ships(Arctic Sunrise,Rainbow Warrior II )fueled with the very same Fossil Fuel these idiots want left in the ground
to make woke CA totally green will require $7 trillion dollars. where is the sanity-throwing money into the sky is not going to effect the alleged climate change. the core to the pedophiles economic, woke policy and plan is to financially bankrupt America. at the G7 yesterday, he arrived 5 min. after the queen-a international etiquette screwup. the pedophile is a disgrace to America. reality is that USSS make updates on security in the wipe house. the propaganda press is completely illiterate to the operations of the USSS. alleged climate change is not the root cause for illegal immigration. there are currently 750 active volcanos around the world. on an average day 45 eruptions occur. this does not take into account the developing under sea volcanos that are very dangerous in their early growth. it is obvious that the ignoramus wipe house staff and woke media never log on to the us geological services report on daily volcanic eruptions around the world. joey is a pathologic lair, career pedophile, race baiter like the gay muslin obama, grievous anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-Asian.
The Congress (Democrats) held Trump hostage until Republicans caved, but he also spent for the Military, rebuilt He said.
What weapons Did We pay for, for this Enemy,
Climate Change?
Can someone FOIA the White paper asking for Budget too fight this Enemy?
God Help US!
If Gore the Bore was so dedicated to Global Warming/Climate Change he would be living in a Grass Hut and walking Right now he has a whole sleet of cars and private jets as well
The ten hottest years on record have all been within the past fifteen years. The past decade was the hottest decade in recorded history.
Yeah, when you “adjust” down all the hottest years in the last century. Climate liars have to manipulate the data to get the results they desire.
But, if the crisis is so dire, why give India and China a free pass? We’ve already met the targets but have to strangle our economy because China wants to overwhelm the world with their coal-fired economy? Get back with me when any of you whining climate Nazis actually take it seriously.
That’s not an excuse to blindly hand any power to Democrats, who clearly have no interest in saving the planet…beyond manufacturing crises for their own autocratic ends.
Actually greggie, you are wrong as usual. There has been no global warming for the past 15 years. Maybe it is hot in your back yard, so stop blowing hot air!
Inflation, the stealth tax, provides an excellent chance for Dems with their agendas to force new behaviors on the American public.
Raise the prices of EVERYTHING, then, lower them only on what you want the rabble to eat, clothe themselves with and shelter under.
So, yes, beef will remain high priced, but soy root based fake meats (Beyond Meat, etc.will come down in price.
Soy roots have never been eaten by any animal until researchers decided to make fake meat out of it.
It is an experiment on Americans.
Soy notoriously feminizes males, so, this should be interesting.
The puppet masters might use “climate change” as their excuse to put real beef out of reach of average Americans, but they really do want a feminized male public.
Climate change is the excuse.
Inflation is the means.
Chemically castrating their potential opponents is the end game.
Just in from DC and the pedophile:
U.S.—After declaring global warming to be the number one security threat facing the United States, President Biden deployed thousands of troops to Texas and other states covered in farmland to eliminate flatulent cows.
“These cows are far more dangerous than any terrorists in the Middle East,” Biden said at a press conference confirming the deployment of the soldiers to tackle the bovine threat. “We are taking their terrorist threats very seriously. Special forces are currently en route to take them out.”
Helicopters let out squads of soldiers into the forests and woods adjacent to farms across the United States.
“Moo,” said one dangerous cow in East Texas, unaware that her terrorist plot to attack the United States with burps and farts was about to come to an end. “Moooooo!”
“Weapons hot — you are free to engage,” one squad leader radioed, causing a burst of gunfire to come out of the bushes.
“We got ’em boys — threat neutralized.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, we got ’em,” Biden announced later. “We have taken down Bessie, the #1 sponsor of global warming and worldwide terror. Mission accomplished.”
The press then applauded and cheered and gave Biden cookies with his face on them.
got to appreciate the Bee
You know? It’s a good thing there are no unicorns. If there were then the left would have to be against them since unicorns – like every other herbivore species – would be a source of methane and methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas (assuming you accept the whole greenhouse hypothesis which is FAR from proven) than CO2. Funny thing, though, is that vegans emit far more CO2 than do meat eaters. I read somewhere that rotting vegetation emits FAR MORE methane than all the cattle raised on the planet.
June 29, 2021 – The Record-Breaking Heat Wave That’s Scorching The Pacific Northwest
“In some places, the heat is so intense it has even melted power cables. In downtown Portland, the Portland Streetcar service shut down on Sunday, posting a picture on Twitter of a power cable with a hole burnt into it.”
At what point do even the slowest finally realize that the climate crisis is real?

Well lets see C02 emissions have been dropping in the US for years now. If you believe that man made C02 is causing a rise in temperatures then look to Asia as the main contributors as it is still rising there. John Kerry has said we can go to zero emissions and it won’t fix the issue. So go gather your left wing loony friends and head to China. Good luck. Before you go get Al Gore and Barack Obama to sell their beach front homes that will soon be flooding for sure. I’m sure they will appreciate your concern.
Before you go a few questions. Since C02 is a very small fraction of the earths atmosphere, less than 1 percent, and the man made portion is a fraction of a fraction what are the science based numbers the Democrat proposed legislation will change that in terms of temperature and sea level change?
If their proposals pass and the changes it requires go into affect, how much will the temperature drop and over what time period? How much will the sea recede and over what time period? What does the science say those numbers will be? I like to know what I am getting for my money.
One last thing, you can’t make solar panels and wind turbines without fossil fuels. Lots of fossil fuels. How does the green new deal propose to manufacture them without using fossil fuels?
You pay them enough and they will give you whatever data you want. Funny how “climate” is such an existential issue but NO ONE addresses India and China to reduce their emissions; they’ll get around to it when they get around to it, meanwhile, the US will voluntarily destroy its own economy.
Wait… is that “weather” or “climate”? I loose track when you liberals declare record low temperatures are “weather” but high temps are “climate”.
You claim to be able to know a scam when you see it but haven’t yet figured out that the climate scam is nothing but a big money-grabbing con.
I guess the PNW were STUPID not to have prepared for the hot weather and conditioned their roads and power cables, huh?
When the 10 hottest years on record are all within the past 15 years, “weather” says something about climate”. There are plenty of additional clues that the climate is warming there for anyone paying attention. The observable real-world effects of what the science has been telling us all along are increasingly obvious.
But when you have to alter the records of past hottest years to make the 10 hottest in the last 15 years, it’s just more of the con. NONE of the climate fascist’s predictions come to pass. Fear is their “science”.
The planet might be modestly rising in its overall temperatures, or falling.
Who knows?
Like, take the latest heatwave in the NW.
Records only go back 150 years.
Regular 100 year highs or lows make sense under those conditions.
But biased experts do try to fudge the numbers.
Like when “Initial investigations have shown that the 120°F temperature in Renton was in fact an error in data display. The actual temperature at that site was 108°F. We will still be investigating the other two observations. #wawx https://t.co/Il8eY2SWXY ”
OOPS!
Then there are the errors built into the placements of testing equipment:
In cities, the “urban heat island effect” was a big cause. Portland and Seattle hit all-time highs of 116 and 108 Monday, while Lytton, Canada surged to a national record of 118.
But the EPA reports, “…the heat island effect results in daytime temperatures in urban areas about 1–7°F higher than temperatures in outlying areas.”
There was a time when climate alarmists were at least open to reason, logic and proofs.
Those days are gone.
Emotion rules almost all alarmists.
Photos of testing equipment next to roof air conditioner exhaust or in the middle of asphalt parking lots don’t even make alarmists blush.
They should.
2020 was Europe’s hottest year on record ‘by a considerable amount,’ scientists say
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/25/europe/2020-hottest-on-record-europe-climate-change/index.html
Last year was Europe’s hottest on record, according to a report published Wednesday by the American Meteorological Society, which also found 2020 to be among the three hottest years globally.
The UK Met Office, which contributed to the report, said record had been broken “by a considerable amount.” Average temperatures in Europe last year were 1.9 degrees Celsius above the 1981-2010 average, a period used as a benchmark to measure changing temperatures.
The five warmest years in Europe have all been since 2014.
Yeah, get rid of all those hot years in the past and the next one will be the hottest. How about that carbon footprint idiot Biden is making with his emergency evacuation because of his incompetent handling of Afghanistan. Funny how climate change will only affect the behavior of the little people.
