Biden says to troops, "Climate Change is biggest threat, no joke!

From Yahoo news; 

"Y’know when I was over in the tank in the Pentagon, and I was first elected vice president with President Obama, the military sat us down to let us know what the greatest threats facing America were, the greatest physical threats.”

“This is not a joke. Y’know what the Joint Chiefs told us the greatest threat facing America was?

“Global warming,” Biden said.

He claimed the military leaders’ reasoning for placing climate change so high on the list were the geopolitical byproducts, such as displacement from land and relocation to new ones.

“Because there’ll be significant population movements, fights over land, millions of people leaving places because they are literally sinking below the sea in Indonesia. Because of the fights over what is arable land anymore,” Biden explained."

Wow, climate change is causing Indonesia to sink below sea level??!!! 

Let us "Fact Check" that. (since no one else will)

First I find this article; https://earth.org/deep-dive-rising-sea-levels-force-relocation-of-indonesian-capital/

(This article should be fact checked too!)

So what do they mean "deep dive" in the title? Turns out the capital of Indonesia is sinking anywhere from 1cm to 25 cm's a year! Why? From the article above; 

"This phenomenon is known as land-subsidence, and is predominantly a consequence of unmoderated human activity. Land-subsidence is caused by the extraction of large volumes of groundwater from aquifers beneath the city, and in the case of Jakarta, the sinking is further exacerbated by the soft, swampy ground on which the city sits. 

Even in relatively dry periods, the sinking causes cracks in walls and uneven surfaces leading to structural instability in buildings that frequently needs to be patched up."

Does that sound like climate change? NOPE.

So let's say Jarkarta sinks about 10cm's a yr. About 4 inches. Over 29 years to 2050 that is 116 inches or 9.7'. According to experts the sea level could rise as much as 13" by 2050. 

Is sea level causing Jarkarta's problems or is human activity causing Jarkarta's problems?

Oh, wait, that article says; 

Jarkarta "...annually experiences severe flooding, monsoons, tsunamis, and earthquakes, the effects of which are getting more extreme as the climate crisis worsens."

Are they??? NOPE!

Does climate change cause major earthquakes? NASA says NO. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2926/can-climate-affect-earthquakes-or-are-the-connections-shaky/

Does climate change cause tsunamis? Believe earthquakes do that.

Monsoons! They gotta be getting worse!! Not according to wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclones_in_Indonesia

In the 70's and 80's there were 36 storms, from 2000-2020 there were 28. The most deaths from a storm were in 1973.

Conclusion; Indonesia is not sinking into the sea from climate change. Human activity and a capital city built on swampy ground is the problem. Climate change or no climate change, Jarkarta is in trouble.

For Joe Biden to use Indonesia as an example of climate change impact and population shift I rate his remarks as......

TOTAL B.S. 

And the article in Earth.org said;

Jarkarta "...annually experiences severe flooding, monsoons, tsunamis, and earthquakes, the effects of which are getting more extreme as the climate crisis worsens."

MORE B.S.

I'm no climate change denier, but to use bullshit to push your agenda is wrong and stupid!!!

No wonder there are deniers!!!

The biggest disgrace to our country is he is President and Harris Vice President!!!! Both totally unqualified for obvious reasons. Only because of the media lying about Trump for 4 years and I believe cheating in the vote count! 80 million votes for that idiot.

Pentagon tells Biden that global warming is the greatest threat to national security in the long term.  Negative impacts are more apparent when examined worldwide over centuries.  Most heat is absorbed by oceans and colder regions which lead to melting of arctic ice.  A potential increase of just a meter in sea level can put at risk the survival of human populations on Pacific island nations.  Higher risks of droughts, fires, floods, crop failures, diseases and famines can result in population migration and competition for resources.  Overall, social, economic and environmental impacts on a massive scale.  Even the United nations recognizes global warming as a threat to global security. 

 Biden is an idiot.

@THEMUGG

 Trust me MUGG; You've seen nothing yet, this circus act is getting ready for it's premier performance.

with a cast of 110 clowns, 60 morons, 24 she-males, and 45 un-medicated Bipolar imbeciles. should be a great summer.

Texas R Louis Gohmert says 'hold my beer'...    "Is there anything the National Forest Service or BLM (Bureau of Land Management)can do to change the course of the Moon's orbit or the Earth's orbit around the sun?  Obviously that would have profound effects on our climate." 

@THEMUGG

 President (Sleepy) Joe Biden Commander-in-Chief is by no means an idiot, if so, x-President Bush would have to be classified as 'retarded'

80m Americans voted for Biden, get it? and do you honestly believe they where all dumb enough to vote for an idiot? show some respect for the voter.

He's your President, love him or hate on him, but one thing, support him, and continue to be the patriot that is inside you; and make you cut the grid as a true-blooded American.

BTW VP Harris makes me very uncomfortable, America will experience for the next 7.5 yrs the most far-right WH in history! (Biden gets elected for a second term, or steps down, and VP Haris runs, and know doubt WINS; this my friend, is when or if, things get 'crazy' in American politics...take care

I'm rollin' with the Suns +110 ML  Friday (6/11/21)

Should that not be FAR-LEFT WH???

Your first mistake is to ASSUME that the Pentagon ACTUALLY told Biden that.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley speaks during a hearing with the Senate Armed Services Committee on Capitol Hill on Thursday;

12 years ago, top military leaders told Biden that climate change would be the greatest threat to national security.  Apparently, they are right.  Now almost all countries in the world have agreed to Paris accord to fight manmade global warming.   General Milley says China and Russia are the greatest threats only from a military standpoint.  He adds, "this is not in conflict with the acknowledgement that climate change or national security has a broader angle."  He agreeds with Biden that climate change is a threat to national security.

Corn Pop’s offspring are the biggest threats

He was a bad dude 

Correction: Biden SAYS 12 years ago top military leaders said that climate change would be the greatest threat to national security.

This is the same guy who said he visited his mother by Amtrack when she was already dead.

I like the way many of the G-7 leaders bumped elbows and even had masks on when THEY ARE ALL VACCINATED. My God they're idiots!

 Strange how Macron and Biden walked, and talked with Macron's arm around Bidens waist; like he was his -bitch-

it's becoming clear, President Biden has taken on the role, and character traits of a 'liberal pacifist' who's foreign policy is that of an ass-kissin' puppet.

If there is one thing that keeps resurfacing, it’s why John Kerry was never elected president of the United States. From donning the orange vest to go hunting during his failed 2004 run to saying that the Iranians shouldn’t use the money we unfroze on terrorist operations in the waning days of the Obama administration, the Massachusetts liberal has been at the eye of the hurricanes of idiocy that always happen when Democrats are in charge. 

President Biden’s outgoing climate czar, John Kerry, one of the most powerful and esteemed figures in Washington, made jaws drop this week when he suggested that the world might “feel better” about the ongoing bloodshed caused by Russia in Ukraine if Moscow cut its emissions. 

“Russia is one of the largest emitters in the world. If Russia wanted to show good faith, they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions,” Kerry, 80, said during a foreign press briefing in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, his penultimate day on the job before leaving to assist Biden’s re-election campaign and teach at Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs. 

“Maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do at this point in time.”
