Defense Sec Hegseth says Pentagon ‘Does Not Do Climate Change Crap’

Here’s just one more example of how far the United States has fallen in the period of less than two months since Trump took office:

We now have an alcoholic Fox News host appointed as Secretary of Defense who has no military leadership experience nor training in science.  He’s now claiming that climate change is “crap” and the U.S. Pentagon has nothing to do with it.

In truth, the U.S. military identified climate change as a threat to national security several decades ago, and has been assiduously trying to assess the many different aspects of how it has an increasing impact on geopolitics, e.g., dependence on oil, scarcity of resources, climate refugees, loss of land masses, the increase in the number and severity of weather emergencies, food shortages due to ocean acidification, etc.

How do I know this?  Largely, it’s through the people I met and interviewed in preparation for the books I wrote over the years, including
Ex-CIA Director James Woolsey, and retired Navy Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn, former president of the American Council on Renewable Energy, who told me, “US dependence on oil is a ‘national security issue.'”
