If you can believe it, Obama and other liberal leaders have claimed that climate change (what used to be called "global warming") is our nations greatest security risk, even greater than terrorism. (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE)
One of the key concerns over global warming is the rise of oceans around the world. And, while shorelines have gone down along some coast over the last decade, the average rise is alleged to have been 8cm since 1992 (see HERE), or about 1/0th of an inch a year.
Alarmists attribute rising sea levels to shrinking polar regions alleged due to global warming. The only problem with this is that Antarctica isn't shrinking. (see HERE)
More important, when it comes to determining national security risks, mortality is a critical variable.
Yet not a single death has been credibly attributed to global warming in 2014, as compared to 33,000 caused by terrorism (see HERE), though alarmist have wildly and loosely attempted to tie between a quarter and half a million deaths a year to human generated climate change (see HERE and HERE) Interestingly enough, severe weather related deaths have declined over the last three year (333 in 2014, 446 in 2013, and 528 in 2012--see HERE)
Then there is this graph...
...which makes me wonder where in the re-occurring cycles does climate change/global warming become the greates threat to national security? :-/
