Retired Pentagon officials stand to profit from global warming legislation

  On the heals of a report that the United Nations climate report’s summary was changed just before it release for political reasons (most likely because poorer countries do not want to risk the potential money they will be receiving) comes this story about ex-Pentagon officials who stand to profit from global warming in the wake of the alarmist report recently released by the Pentagon:

Retired military officers deeply involved in the climate change movement — and some in companies positioned to profit from it — spearheaded an alarmist global warming report this month that calls on the Defense Department to ramp up spending on what it calls a man-made problem.

The report, which the Obama administration immediately hailed as a call to action, was issued not by a private advocacy group but by a Pentagon-financed think tank that trumpets “absolute objectivity.” The research was funded by a climate change group that is also one of the think tank’s main customers.

    So, according to this story, not only do ex-Pentagon officials and their companies stand to make a fortune from global warming legislation, and not only did the Pentagon help finance this study but so did one of the think tank’s biggest customers.

  Quite the incestuous relationship, don’t you think?

One of the CNA panel’s vice chairmen, retired Navy Vice Adm. Lee Gunn, is president of a private think tank, the American Security Project, whose prime issue is warning about climate change.

The other vice chairman, retired Army Brig. Gen. Gerald E. Galloway Jr., is a prominent adviser to the Center for Climate and Security, a climate change group.

In all, four CNA board members sit on the panel of advisers to the Center for Climate and Security, whose statements on climate change are similar to those found in the CNA report.

Other board members work in the climate change world of consulting and technology.

The CNA advisory panel is headed by retired four-star Army Gen. Paul Kern, who sits on the board of directors of a company that sells climate-detection products to the Pentagon and other government agencies. At least two other board members are employed in businesses that sell climate change expertise and products.

And the global warming alarmists wonder why we science deniers, as they like to call us, are questioning the reports? Just follow the money…..
