We cats have been busy helping Democrats in Northern Virginia the last couple of days, but we couldn't help noticing the headline that folks at the Pentagon have decided that climate change is a big deal.
In its new report, DOD calls global warming a "threat multiplier" that will have a negative impact on the national security of the United States. It "will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict...likely lead to food and water shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and resources, and destruction by natural disasters in regions across the globe."
Yes, 'tis the season for scary stuff, all right. But that's really scary.
So we cats are wondering: Will any of the national security hawks in the Republican Party who are climate-change deniers be asked about this? After all, they take everything the military says as gospel truth. Why should they continue to pooh-pooh global warming if the US defense community is extremely worried about it?
We're waiting, journalists. If you need the phone numbers for Republicans like Dick and Liz Cheney, Joni Ernst, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz, just let us know. We cats HISS.
