My Comment: A few years ago the language that was used in describing worldwide weather changes and its impact on national security issues was "global warming" .... not climate change. Today .... after 10 years of falling temperatures worldwide .... global warming does not cut it anymore .... hence climate change.

Unfortunately (for all of us tax payers), the present political elite believe that there is some truth to global warming .... ooopppss ..... climate change .... and they will install the necessary tax increases and regulations to justify their view point. National security has (and will always be) at the bottom of their priority list when it comes to their environmental agenda.
