Obama Orders Climate Change Be Considered in Military Planning

I'm so old I remember when the goal of the military was to destroy the enemy.

Obama orders climate change be considered in military planning

and?

i know...there's no such thing as climate change because you say so.

The Ganges (/ˈɡændʒiːz/ gan-jeez), also Ganga (Hindustani: [ˈɡəŋɡaː]) is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through

 

[Old Rocks]

The military has been licking PC thug boots for years. The GW hoax has been part of SOP for years. Obozo is just doing what he can to finish destroying our capacity to fight.

Pete, you are surely one of the dumbest 'Conservatives' on this board. We are already considering altering our naval deployment because of the melt of the Arctic Sea Ice.

Tell the folks in Louisiana about the water shortage.

Funny you should bring up an unprecedented weather event no one was prepared for. Droughts can happen just as easily as floods. Both are threats to stability as well as a terrible financial burden to prepare for and a terrible disaster if people are unprepared. Going to need a lot of new coastal flood control in the coming years, red states will have to endure no telling how many disasters before they finally realize that things are shifting.

If you weren't such a stupid fuck, the reason would be obvious. A rising ... Snip...

. Here is a science experiment. Put a bunch of ice crude in a glass. Fill the glass to the brim with lukewarm water. Have a paper towel nearby. Watch the glass for a few hours as it sit in a room with refrigeration. Report back to us your findings. Is the paper towel still dry and unused?

Goddamn, they just keep getting stupider as they post. You idiot, the ice that is melting in Greenland and being pushed into the ocean in Antarctica is above sea level. AveGuyIA, you are way below average between the ears.

A four year drought in Syria and widespread crop failures just happened to precede the civil war. Isis has made control of water resources one of their chief objectives in Iraq and Syria. Even ISIS knows the strategic value of water even if you don't. It's much the same everywhere water is scarce, people may not even be directly fighting over water but crop failures have always been a potential spark for unrest. Since you are unaware of how strategically important water is I suggest you read something on the subject.

Yeah, theres a drought so Jihadists move to take over desert.

Where is all this water going?


Lmfao water can not be destroyed you drink dino piss everyday.

God, it is simply incredible that you fellows are that fucking stupid. You distribute the water differently, and you have several problems, not just one. Plus the fact that a warmer atmosphere actually leads to more rainfall, just not always where needed. California and Louisiana are prime examples.

Actually, there are several. I've got a link from Newsweek that will help you out.

They even say that water is one of the reasons the Syrian war started.

If you weren't such a stupid fuck, the reason would be obvious. A rising sea level is going to displace a lot of people, and there are going to be millions of refugees. Changes in climate mean changes in rainfall patterns, and have the potential to lead to wars over water. It is the job of our military to consider the consequences of whatever is happening in our world, political and physical, and what the results could be in reference to threats to our nation.

Thanks for the Onion news flash. You're hysterical.

Tell us, since most of Florida is less than a hundred feet elevation, has Cape Canaveral moved yet?

Actually, everyone up here in the Texas Panhandle would LOVE to help you take some of that rain off of your hands. We're a bit dry over here right now, and have been for a while. I've lived here for over 16 years, and have seen it get drier and drier year by year, while I see people in the Mississippi river valley places like that getting flooded out.

The weather patterns are changing. The jetstream has even been affected.

Ah, Newsweek. The leftist magazine that glorified Assad as a great leader.

And Assad being a total tyrant would never have anything to do attempts to overthrow him.

People have been "researching" this supposed manmade climate change for forty-six years. And after all that researching, all that screaming, all that denigration of those who don't see any evidence for it...

...not a single report proving that man has had any impact on climate change, or can ever have any in the foreseeable future, has ever been published.

Not one. In forty-six years.

Lots of stuff has been published saying that man has had an effect on climate change. and lots of it claims to "prove" it, or at least support it, by "logic" such as:

1.) Increased levels of (CO2, methane, hydrogen, pick your favorite "greenhouse gas") can change the climate.

2.) Man can create more greenhouse gases by paving too much land, or burning fossil fuels, or exhaling really heavily (insert the activity you want to demonize here).

3.) Man is doing that activity, so man is changing the climate.

No attempt to establish what increase in gases is necessary to actually change the climate in whatever way you are fearing this week. No attempt to find if man is actually creating that much. No attempt to find if such increases do or don't trigger other events that might absorb or use up more of those gases (more plants growing or oceans absorbing or whatever). Etc. etc.

And a great deal of publishing has been done, of documents that purport to "prove" that man is affecting the climate, by referring to long bibliographies of learned documents and other "studies". But if you actually look into those bibliographies and open up the documents they cite, you find... you guessed it, more bibliographies, pointing to yet more documents. No actual studies or experiments that demonstrate what the publishers say is true. Just references to even more studies... which in turn refer to even more studies... none of which ever actually prove the original assertion.

FORTY-SIX YEARS. And not a single actual proof.

There's a reason for this. And it's similar to the reason why no chemical has ever been found that can turn lead into gold... something that has been "researched" for thousands of years.

And the reason is, because there just plain isn't any.

Go peddle your papers, manmade-global-whatever hysterics. You HAVE succeeded in convincing the rest of us of one thing: that you're selling snake oil, no matter how high a price you're charging for it. Nothing else could account for your complete failure to produce even ONE piece of proof, after all the resources you have expended (usually from other peoples' pockets) and forty-plus years of trying.

Why not join the Flat Earth Society? You'll find some people there, who have the mindset needed to believe you.

Yappy yap yap. And every one of the Scientific Societies, every one of the National Academies of Science of all the nations of the world, and all the major Universities state that AGW is real, and a clear and present danger. And you have the balls to believe you know better than all the scientists from the many different nations on this planet that have studied the subject for decades. You are an idiot.

The effects of the warming are already evident in extreme weather events, in the melting of the cryosphere, in the increasing acidity of the oceans.

Now really dumb fuck, they move to take over the water resources in that desert. Hard to fathom how truly stupid you are.

Just where is the source of that moisture from that freezes and falls over the landmass that is called Greenland?

 

[ABikerSailor]

And..............if you think about it.................the jet stream affects how weather all over the world works. Remember during the past few winters when it dropped all the way down to the middle of Texas with the Polar Vortex? What was thought to be something that would happen once has become a regular thing for the winter.

And...............if you don't take into account what the weather is doing, as well as what it will do later, you can end up in a really bad position on the battlefield.

I've stood where the Jordan River pours out of the ground, and I've stood where it ends. Beginning to end is all in Israel.

So explain to us are the Palestinians blowing up school busses because of water or da Joos?

Quit being so stupid. Florida has seen a dramatic increase in coastal flooding in the last few years. I live right on the coast here and I can tell you that it's true, we had a pretty nasty storm surge a couple of weeks ago that used to take a much larger storm to produce. My house has never flooded but it was a close thing, closer than it ever has been.

Evaporation from the Atlantic ocean. However, if the ice is falling into the ocean and melting faster than it's being evaporated and deposited back on the land, it will result in the ocean levels rising.

A meter of sea level rise, and most of our sea ports, and everyone else's seaports are in big trouble. And we may have that before this century is out. Again, you are really a stupid ass.
