Senator: Navy Evaluates Commanders Based On Climate Change Views

DC: Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse recently told people gathered in New York City that global warming “denial” hurts U.S. soldiers in the field and that the “main problem” with the military is its reluctance to join the climate crusade.

“The problem has been that the uniformed military has been reluctant to put its voice into – or its image into this fight,” Whitehouse said, according to a YouTube video posted Thursday.

“But, it’s hard to put a panel of people in uniform in front of the Environmental and Public Works Committee and say, you know, I’m a general, I’m an Admiral, I’m the head of the Marine Corps, we’re telling you,” said Whitehouse, who sits on the Senate committee in question.

Whitehouse also claimed Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is starting to evaluate commanders based on their knowledge of how global warming will impact the bases they command.

  1. This country is sooooo fucked! I afraid, afraid there is now other way out of this shit besides another civil war. It won’t be North against the South but the Right against the Left (Wrong) whatever!

    Did someone say something about a meteor or and asteroid earlier?

    Either way, it can’t come soon enough.
