THE FOUNDATION
"But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one
instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by
which free governments are destroyed." --George Washington, Farewell
Address, 1796

Pentagon Prepares for Climate
The Pentagon may be
trading defense for welfare
by cutting troop size and other expenses, but it's keeping its eye on
the ball regarding climate change. The 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review
says, "[W]e will complete a comprehensive assessment of all
installations to assess the potential impacts of climate change on our
missions and operational resiliency, and develop and implement plans to
adapt as required." Climate change, warned the report, will "aggravate
stressors" such as "poverty, environmental degradation, political
instability and social tensions -- conditions that can enable terrorist
activity and other forms of violence." Well,
John Kerry did call global warming a WMD. Maybe that means Vladimir Putin is just hot.
