As \u201cclimate change\u201d is removed from the national threat assessment, a Bloomberg opinion piece provides a great list of all the winning Team Trump has had over the past 52 days.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a move that makes anyone familiar with the real climate science [thrilled? sic], climate change has been left out of the US intelligence community\u2019s annual assessment of threats to this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the first time this has happened in over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maine\u2019s supposedly independent Sen. Angus King grilled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard <\/a>in a recent US Senate earing over the readjustment in security priorities with all the pomp and arrogance of New England pseudo-nobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

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\u2019s been in every one of the 11 prior reports?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gabbard response was to slap-back, indicating there were other more urgent priorities<\/a> for her agency to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday that for the intelligence community to be aware of the environment that they\u2019re operating on \u201cis a given\u201d and that the report was \u201cfocused very directly on the threats that we deem most critical to the United States and our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I focused this annual threat assessment on, and the [intelligence community] focused this threat assessment on, are the most extreme and critical direct threats to our national security,\u201d she explained, responding to pressing questions from Democratic Maine Sen. Angus King.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Gabbard said she did not recall instructing the intelligence community to avoid mentioning climate change in the 31-page report.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gabbard was outstanding in expressing the proper national security priorities, which do not include worry about a few extra molecules of a life-essential gas<\/a>. The Earth\u2019s climate in in a constant state of change, and I will also note that we are at a temperature low point when you consider the last 485 million years of planetary history<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, I am much more worried about terrorists, cyber-threats, unrestrained illegal immigration, and Chinese military capabilities than I am about a potential degree change in a global temperature measurement that is essentially meaningless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out the only thing in danger of melting down in the current environment are leftists. Perhaps the most spectacularly histrionic response came via a Bloomberg opinion piece,<\/a> which summarized 52 glorious days of President Donald Trump\u2019s  orders redirecting where this nation\u2019s resources, monies, and energies should be spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Every agency with any connection to the climate (meaning basically all of them) has been involved, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Defense Department. International cooperation by NASA scientists, UN diplomats and more has been forbidden, and Trump appointees are meddling in state and local efforts to manage their own environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk\u2019s crew, intent on dismantling the apparatus of government, has frozen research and funding and put vital expertise on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump claims his climate demolition will benefit the country. He and his mouthpieces have argued that ignoring climate will lower energy costs for consumers, help the economy and secure \u201cenergy dominance\u201d for the US.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The authors decry the effort as demolishing years of great work in days. My reply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YEARS OF "CLIMATE CULTISM" DEMOLISHED IN DAYS. Yes!!!! I voted for this. https:\/\/t.co\/Ta45MPhdRl<\/a><\/p>— Leslie Eastman \u2625 (@Mutnodjmet) March 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>
