Climate Change: An Interesting New Angle


It's all in the way you put it. So how about this:


"Any effort to further delay the world’s transition to a sustainable energy economy or to launch an aggressive response to global climate change is a national security threat."


In other words, if you ain't going green, you hate Democracy, and Liberty, and Freedom, and all those other things that those who wrap themselves in false patriotism have been throwing in the rest of our faces ever since 9/11.


This is the thesis of "Powering America’s Defense: Energy and the Risks to National Security,” which is the work of the Military Advisory Board of the Center for Naval Analysis (CNA). Check out the full article at worldchanging.com.


The further down this road we go, and the more people of renown or consequence who hop on board, the more those in resistance seem like outliers and obstructionists pursuing nothing but their own financial gain or security. There is no intelligence or rational thought left on the side of the climate change deniers. There's only a question of how long it takes to educate/coerce/pummel the laggards into enlightenment.
