Crazy Op-Ed Calls For US Military To Declare War On The Weather
Let’s hear a loud, soldier’s “HOOAH” for the fight against Mother Nature! At least, that’s what a nutty op-ed from The Hill is suggesting for top brass at the United States military
William Becker — executive director for the eco-extremist Presidential Climate Action Project, obviously unaffiliated with the White House under Trump — went on a strange rant against the U.S. military’s lackluster approach to taking down the ‘climate change’ boogeyman.
“Climate change threatens national security — how are the generals responding?” whined Becker in his October 20 headline.
Presuming to speak for climate-conscious military leaders, Becker pontificated how “America’s military and intelligence leaders know that Trump is jeopardizing national security by dismissing climate change as a hoax.” Climate change is a “threat multiplier.”
The Left wants climate panic to be the primary mission of every fraction of government, including the Pentagon:
“Trump mocks and denies climate change. He has defunded climate science, shut down USAID, cut billions from foreign aid, withdrawn America from the Paris Climate Agreement, accelerated U.S. production of fossil fuels, used the threat of trade tariffs to extort other countries into buying U.S. oil and gas.
He has and wasted the armed force’s resources by deploying them against Democrat-run states and cities to fight a nonexistent “enemy from within.” Yet, in terms of national security, the “enemy within” is within the White House.”
Is Becker actually suggesting U.S. generals should commit treason by creating a military coup and removing their Commander in Chief by force?
This is the same goofball who boasted in a 2017 HuffPost blog that he was “Proud To Be An ‘Alarmist.’” No kidding.
What’s humorous is the editor’s note now attached to his blog after HuffPost did away with its free-for-all contributors program:
“This post was published on the now-closed HuffPost Contributor platform. Contributors control their own work and posted freely to our site. If you need to flag this entry as abusive, send us an email.”
Just amazing.
Becker made a deranged prediction of military Armageddon should the U.S. military not take up arms now against South Park’s ManBearPig:
“Those countries include the U.S. At a minimum, America’s military forces will be diverted to conduct humanitarian missions in other nations destabilized by climate impacts. In the worst case, the U.S. could be drawn into wars within and between other countries.”
So we are now to believe bad weather makes wars happen?
For evidence, Becker cited U.S. White House agency reports between 2012-2016, during the term of the climate-obsessed Obama administration.
Becker didn’t mention former President Obama’s name at all, of course, since doing so would rip the objectivity of his evidence apart. But Becker continued ranting like an eco-doom prophet:
“Climate change poses a direct threat to many of the U.S. military’s 750 installations across 80 countries. Many are within reach of intensifying coastal storms and sea-level rise, and are located in countries expected to be hit hard by climate impacts …
How should America’s top military officers and intelligence officials respond? Certainly not with stony silence.”
The only thing U.S. generals should do in response to Becker’s rambling screed is laugh it all the way to the garbage bin.

The same clowns you trust to run the military and keep the country safe. But I am all for fighting bad weather as here in the north it would be great to have more sunny days and warmer temps all year.
