All you deniers trot out your climatology credentials. We'll wait....

Tell us what qualifies any of you asshats to offer an opinion on this topic besides listening to your whacko conservative talk radio heroes.....who, by the way, don't have the credentials to offer or back up an opinion on the topic any more than you halfwits.

You first heard of Climate Change aka, Global Warming from Al Gore, and you believed it the manner in which he presented it. Where's his credentials I might ask?

Climate Change is not the DOD's area. If they aren't wasting money they are certainly wasting their time.

Maybe you think DoD and the National Guard shouldn't be involved, but they are. And such issues occupy a huge part of their planning--and consume a significant part of their unplanned expenses.

By the way, most those in DoD who spend large parts of their time worrying about such things are Reps, not Dems (and in spite of the "help" from congressmen and local politicians they generally do a pretty good job of planning. Once execution moves to the state and local govs, things often deteriorate.)

For instance it is said that tons of plastics are found in the Oceans yearly the presents of plastics disrupts the natural ecosystems of the ocean.

not a problem slopjaw

• Plastic pieces outweigh surface zooplankton in the Central North Pacific by a factor of 6 to 1. (Algalita Marine Research Foundation)
• Plastic pieces can attract and hold hydrophobic elements like PCB and DDT up to 1 million x background levels. As a result, floating plastic is like a poison pill. (Algalita Marine Research Foundation)
• Approximately 500 nautical miles off the California coast sits a growing "plastic island," a gargantuan patch of floating plastic trash held together by currents stretching across the northern Pacific almost as far as Japan. This "plastic island" is made up of about 7 billion pounds of plastic garbage, and measures about twice the size of Texas.
• Each year, enough trash—most of it plastic—floats down the Los Angeles River to fill the Rose Bowl two stories deep. (Los Angeles Times, "Altered Oceans")
• Of 500,000 albatross chicks born each year on Midway Atoll, about 200,000 die of starvation. Adult albatrosses mistake plastic trash for food and end up feeding it to their chicks. (L.A. Times)
• On a single day in 2007, nearly 400,000 volunteers around the world picked up more than 6 million pounds of trash. A majority of the items were single-use disposable plastic items, such as plastic bags and Styrofoam containers. (Ocean Conservancy International)
• Since water keeps the plastic cool and algae blocks ultraviolet rays, "every little piece of plastic manufactured in the past 50 years that made it into the ocean is still out there somewhere." (Research Triangle Institute


no effect on the aquatic life??? you slackjaw redneck

Sure it has an effect on aquatic life. What do you think Corals and Anemones are? Besides plastic is plastic regardless of it's form it still poses an environmental issue whether in the Ocean itself or on it's shore.

If that kind of thing is not the point you were trying to make about DoD wasting their time on climate change, then I am confused. I'm not being hostile in this case, but truly missing your point.
