Gabbard responds to the Climate Kooks

 Twitchy:

For all of this writer's life and longer, the left in America and across the world have been trying to scare everyone with the mythical 'climate change' crisis. In the 70s, the narrative was that we were on the verge of a new ice age. Then, in the 80s, that switched to global warming and that the ozone layer was disintegrating. The goalpost moved once again with Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth in the early 2000s, predicting the global ice caps would be gone and that all of us would be underwater long before today.

None of these predictions came true, of course, but that didn't stop the left. They adjusted the name to 'climate change' and, recently, Bernie Sanders, AOC, John Kerry, and Greta Thunberg have all warned that the Earth will be gone in a decade if we don't tax everyone much harder.

It has always been a scam. But sadly, that scam infected the American military and intelligence apparatus as well in the 21st century, particularly during the Obama and Biden administrations. For the past several years, intelligence briefings have listed 'climate change' among our nation's top security threats.

That all came to an end today when President Trump's DNI Tulsi Gabbard went to Capitol Hill to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Maine Democrat Angus King's head nearly exploded when he noticed what was missing from her initial threat assessment....
...

'We're focused on the direct threats.' Absolutely. And the climate scam is not one of them.

Kudos to Gabbard also for not sinking to King's level by responding to his snide question, 'Has climate change been solved?'

It didn't deserve an answer. Because nothing needs to be 'solved.'

But she was very clear when she did answer questions. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is focused on serious threats, not on the fever dreams of Al Gore and a Swedish teenager.

I have been a climate change skeptic for some time.  All it took was taking a walk outdoors here in South Texas and surviving.  In fact, it is still pretty nice outside and when it is not I can build a fire or turn on the air conditioner.  It is 72 outside as I write this with a high forecast for 82.  I can live with that.
