OBAMA SAYS CLIMATE CHANGE A SECURITY ISSUE

Ok, I really need help understanding this one. Climate change is an issue of national security? I know that Al Gore did a skit on Saturday Night Live in which he was elected president and said, "glaciers that once were melting are now on the attack" but did Obama really have to take him seriously?

Here is a quote from Obama that appears on the Copenhagen Conference WEBSITE:

"There is little scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, more famine, more mass displacement – all of which will fuel more conflict for decades," and then he drew attention to the question of security in the climate problem:

"It is not merely scientists and environmental activists who call for swift and forceful action – it's military leaders in my own country and others who understand that our common security hangs in the balance."

I wonder if General McChrystal is putting climate change at the top of his priority list for defending America.

By the way, if Obama is so interested in preventing drought and famine, how come he doesn't turn the water back on for the farmers in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?

Yeah, in addition to the EPA naming CO2 - a gas exhaled by each member within the EPA (I think) - as something harmful to the earth, it is also helping to cause drought and famine by demanding that a 2" Delta Smelt fish be protected ahead of farmers who are now in food lines.
