Committee chairman Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, opened the hearing by raising the record-breaking March floods at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, home to US Strategic Command, and the wreckage Hurricane Florence inflicted in September on North Carolina's Camp LeJeune, where a Marine commander warned the impact of climate-related events has degraded Marine Corps readiness.
7 billion over the next two fiscal years to rebuild Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida and recover Offutt Air Force Base. Without supplemental funding now, Pentagon officials say the Air Force will have to cut critical facility and readiness requirements, increasing Air Force wide operational risks and negatively impacting the recovery of Tyndall and Offutt.
In other words a typical day in Washington.
Climate change is a thing, but it's a bad idea to create laws taking freedom away from the people. Shouldn't we instead try to figure out a solution to the radioactive waste Japan is pumping into the ocean from their ruined nuclear factory? Pretty sure that's key. Lest we forget
The GOP looks more and more like a cult in their patent denial of climate change. That's why right now we have major military facilities that are severely damage and can't support their Force projection and training missions because of climate or storm damage
SCAM AND A HOAX
Climate change also represents an opportunity. Poor cnncirclingthedrain
Massie was a complete bozo,typical ‘lowered the bar’mentality. Kerry should be commended for his patience and intelligence.
yeah did we forget about the rainforests though? And he polar bears? And the birds? And ozone lair....pickin this up?
What is Lurch doing there?
It doesn’t represent a threat, only a made up hoax and wealth redistribution scheme.
So less than 10,000 people died WORLD WIDE from natural occurences of Hurricanes, Cyclones, Typhoons, volcanos, Floods, but 60,000 died from drugs, 50,000 from auto accidents, just in America last year! and 60,000 from military conflicts in the Mid-east and Africa!
Fact is military bases in Florida were hit and severely damaged by recent storms. At lest the bases were in the US.
Man has not and cannot do anything about the climate . People just lining there pockets with the hoax .
It is clear the GOP is not interested in government, only tearing down the institutions that made America great and then when the problem is too big to surmount asking democrats why they didn’t stop it.
It doesn’t.
Because liberals are using science junk infected with liberalism. Remember because of faring cows the world will start ending in 12yrs.
For those who deny climate change here is a simple test. Park the car in the garage and keep it running... close the garage doors and sit in the car ... post on Twitter in the am to let us know what happened
