Climate Alarmism is a National Security Threat - Secure Freedom Minute

Yesterday, President Joe Biden placed “climate change at the center of our domestic, national security and foreign policy.”

The clear implication is that the very real – and growing – threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the mullahs of Iran are simply not as important as the peril posed by rising greenhouse gas emissions’ supposedly catastrophic impact on the environment.

That obviously ludicrous idea will nonetheless justify the Biden-Harris team diverting defense resources desperately needed to protect against such real threats to their favored priorities. These will likely include using our military to help other countries cope with rising seas, malaria, food shortages and other putatively climate-induced crises.

Worse yet, climate alarmism will be used to justify treating enemies like the CCP as our partner, rather than what it is: our mortal enemy.

What could possibly go wrong?
