Senator Grills Tulsi Gabbard on Omission of Climate From Annual Threat Assessment
…
But while concerns about this “sloppy, careless, incompetent behavior” (per Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia) dominated the hearing, there was also a brief, telling exchange between Sen. Angus King of Maine and Gabbard, in which King grilled her about the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment by the US intelligence community, which made no mention of climate change for the first time in 11 years.
“I’ve been on this committee now for—this is my 13th year,” said King. “Every single one of these reports that we have had has mentioned global climate change as a significant national security threat except this one. Has something happened? Has global climate change been solved? Why is that not in this report, and who made the decision that it should not be in the report, when it’s been in every one of the 11 prior reports?”
In her response, Gabbard implied that climate change was no longer considered a direct threat to US national security. “I can’t speak to the decisions made previously, but this annual threat assessment has been focused very directly on the threats that we deem most critical to the United States and our national security,” she said. “Obviously, we’re aware of occurrences within the environment and how they may impact operations, but we’re focused on the direct threats to Americans’ safety, well-being, and security.”
Of course, Angus, who takes lots of fossil fueled flights between Maine and DC, and doesn’t seem to take the Metro, bus, or EV around DC, went full cult
King pressed her again, asking about the connection between climate change and “mass migration, famine, dislocation, political violence.” He specifically mentioned the 2019 annual threat assessment under the first Trump administration, which included a section on “Environment and Climate Change.” (snip)
Again, Gabbard responded, “For the intelligence community being aware of the environment that we’re operating in is a given. What I focused this annual threat assessment on and the IC focused this threat assessment on are the most extreme and critical direct threats to our national security.”
She should have asked him if he has stopped using fossil fuels in his own life and made his life carbon neutral. ‘Climate change’ is not a threat. Natural global warming is not a threat. It’s a condition to factor in. But, there are real issues, like Iran, Islamic terrorism, Russia, China, and North Korea. There’s illegal aliens from dangerous countries sneaking into the U.S. A slight increase in global temperatures in 175 years is not a big deal.
The ending is a hoot
“The omission of climate change ignores the hundreds of American lives lost and nearly $200 billion in damage from climate-fueled disasters in 2024, the warmest year in human history,” said Rod Schoonover, co-founder of the Ecosecurity Council and former Director of Environment and Natural Resources at the National Intelligence Council. “By trading objective reality for ideology, the intelligence community leadership is deliberately handicapping its ability to comprehensively analyze the very security landscape it’s tasked with understanding.”
Yammerings coming from people in a doomsday cult attempting to force Everyone to join is wacko, since what they have done is a cult ideology.
