Papantonio: Republicans Cut Critical National Security Funding



Back in 2005, when George W. Bush finally admitted the reality of man-made climate change, it was an embarrassment for the extreme fringe of the GOP. And it had to be extremely uncomfortable for all of the ‘letter-to-the-editor’ writers who use newspapers to tell us that global warming is a hoax.

But the worst was yet to come for conservatives. In October, the Department of Defense listed climate change as a top national security threat. And in all honesty, they’ve said that for the last eight years. Yet Republicans like Ted Cruz, James Inhofe, and Marco Rubio are all-in on the idea that we simply don’t have a problem here.

America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this with Farron Cousins.

potential conflicts because masses of people don't have enough food or water where they live because of rapidly changing weather patterns - sounds like the potential for BIG profits for the MIC

Brought to you by the Conservative SCOTUS corporate toadies. You know, the ones that stole the 2000 Presidential Election.
