Scanning links on Drudge this morning, I did a double-take, believing I might have suddenly lost my marbles. Because one of them read: “Pentagon spearheads fight against 'threat multiplier' climate change.”

 

My first thought was that, somehow or other, I’d missed some important and serious information regarding the subject, whereas if the Pentagon was involved in combatting global warming, there had to be far more truth to the issue than I’d ever imagined.

 

However, when I clicked on the link, what I found was a story from the Washington Examiner by Zack Colman regarding Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel who called climate change a 'threat multiplier, as follows: ”Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called on other nations to join the Pentagon in taking steps to mitigate and adapt to climate change, calling it a "threat multiplier" that could exacerbate global challenges if left unaddressed.

 

Climate change is a threat multiplier," Hagel said at the Conference of Defense Ministers of the Americas in Arequipa, Peru, "because it has the potential to exacerbate many of the challenges we already confront today — from infectious disease to armed insurgencies — and to produce new challenges in the future."

 

So, after reading the gibberish from Secretary Hagel, realizing it was the same old spin the administration’s been spouting for years, I breathed a sigh of relief because climate change still doesn’t exist and I’d missed nothing new or important regarding the subject. 

 

What was even more interesting, though, were the comments from readers, every one of them taking the opposite position, many including statistics and data supporting their opinions.

 

One reader’s thoughts were amusing and accurate, so I’ve posted them below.

Oh, and if you even slightly question the BHO then you’re also a racist.

 

And one more from ConservativeLady vacmancan: “Let me help you dear. Tell us how CO2 can lift 300 million cubic MILES of water? That's 3 times the distance of the earth to the sun. Hint: it can't. WATER governs the greenhouse effect, fool. Man can't change that... EVER.

 

That’s it for today folks.
