US “Intelligence” Thinks That The Climate Used To Be Stable

Last summer, as torrential rains flooded Pakistan, a veteran intelligence analyst watched closely from his desk at CIA headquarters just outside the capital.

For the analyst, who heads the CIA’s year old Center on Climate Change and National Security, the worst natural disaster in Pakistan’s history was a warning.

“It has the exact same symptoms you would see for future climate change events, and we’re expecting to see more of them,” he said later, agreeing to talk only if his name were not revealed, for security reasons.

“We wanted to know: What are the conditions that lead to a situation like the Pakistan flooding? What are the important things for water flows, food security … radicalization, disease” and displaced people? As intelligence officials assess key components of state stability, they are realizing that the norms they had been operating with – such as predictable river flows and crop yields – are shifting.

    Yeah sure, the climate might come after his family, ya know.

    What makes this even more pitiful is the fact that the person spouting this nonsense makes well into 6 figures. The new congress is supposed to axe this Dept. I have my fingers crossed, but I won’t hold my breath waiting. It’s almost impossible to get rid of any governmental office once it’s created.
