This is encouraging news:
The Trump administration will reverse course from previous Obama administration policy, eliminating climate change from a list of national security threats. The National Security Strategy to be released on Monday will emphasize the importance of balancing energy security with economic development and environmental protection, according to a source who has seen the document and shared excerpts of a late draft.
“Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system,” a draft of the National Security Strategy slated to be released on Monday said. “U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an anti-growth, energy agenda that is detrimental to U.S. economic and energy security interests. Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people out of poverty.”
…
President Obama made climate change, and the burdensome regulations that accompany its focus, a primary focus of his administration, including in his National Security Strategy released in 2015. “[W]e are working toward an ambitious new global climate change agreement to shape standards for prevention, preparedness, and response over the next decade,” that report said.
“In some ways, [climate change] is akin to the problem of terrorism and ISIL,” Obama said at climate talks in Paris in 2015. During a weekly address, Obama said “Today, there is no greater threat to our planet than climate change.”
In September 2016, President Obama released a memorandum requiring federal agencies to consider the effects of climate change in the development of national security-related doctrine, policies, and plans. All of this alarmed critics concerned with more pressing security risks.
Buh-bye!

UPDATE: This is what the National Security Strategy said in 2010, when “climate change” first appeared in it. It was mentioned 28 times in the document.

Climate Alarmists Caught FAKING Sea Level Rise…

“The Global Warming crowd has been exposed to be perhaps the greatest scientific fraud of the century. If anyone in the financial industry did this, they would be sent to prison for 20 years or more. They outright deny the existence of any cyclical evidence and have basically pissed on the graves of everyone from Isaac Newton on.” – Martin Armstrong

With now all the mountains of evidence and exposed (and admitted) fraud, warmists are the real deniers and the new useful idiots.

Thank you President Trump to rid this nation of such drivel, an infection that is still curable.
Only Hillary Clinton can save us from global warming and bimbos.
The only effect the weather should have on the Military is what uniforms to wear and pack for any particular mission. All the rest of the nonsense promulgated by the Obozo regime SHOULD be walked back. Thank you, President Trump.
Climate change is the old Chicken Little story. It’s a hoax, believed by weak-minded people.
Taking plant food (CO2) off the national security threats list fixes one of Obama’s bigger stupidities in national policy making.
Maybe President Trump will now also remove Obama’s priority assignment to NASA of trying to make muslim nations feel good about their historical contributions to math and science.
Making NASA a public relations outreach agency to muslim nations was a ridiculous policy priority: Maybe now NASA can get back to its core competencies.

TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! Destined to become the greatest President ever…
The EPA should be required to immediately remove carbon dioxide from its list of “pollutants”. It is critically necessary for life on earth.
President Obama was one of the worst to have been elected. This emphasis on grandiose plans like climate change underscore how out of touch he was and continues to be.
Wow- what a great surprise to see my cartoon headlining this article! Many thanks to the WUWT crew!

I wonder if Trump will identify all our national security issues that must be corrected before we are destroyed?
How many can you name?
What about destroying the “NEW” Treason Party or more commonly known as the “deep state”?
Famed terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as Carlos the Jackal said: “Only a coalition of Marxists and Islamists can destroy the United States.” This is the “NEW Treason Party!
Who is the Treason Party you ask!
It is the entire Democrat Party, the Muslim Brotherhood’s own political party, the benign-sounding U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations and the RINO/GOP leadership/followers in the soon to be defunct Republican Party!
Take time to read: TEAM JIHAD: How Sharia-Supremacists Collaborate with Leftists to Destroy the United States
The American Left has entered into an alliance of convenience with Islamic terrorists aimed at taking down their mutual enemy: The United States of America. Their primary tools are name-calling, intimidation, and the suppression of facts. Their wealthy foundations fund nonprofit groups focused on transforming our culture to make it Islam-friendly while weakening our resolve to fight Islamic supremacism and the terrorism it deploys against us.

After 10 years studying Islam I thought I knew it, however, after reading this monograph it opened my eyes much wider!
READ: “Team Jihad: How Sharia-Supremacists Collaborate With Leftists To Destroy The United States”.
The unlikely alliance between Islam and the left isn’t on the media’s radar screen, yet the chaos on our streets and campuses is obvious and disturbing. The ever-more frequent jihad attacks, both at home and abroad, even more so. But the swirl of images flitting across our screens can be difficult to understand: protesters are carrying all kinds of signs, hurling abuse at our new president, and at those who would speak in defense of America and its free institutions… Black Lives Matter activists spew hatred for law enforcement but are funded by wealthy establishment leftists. Muslim terrorists screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ are murdering innocent, men, women and children—in the name of the ‘religion of peace.’ Too much of it doesn’t seem to make sense. How can the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, Black Lives Matter movement, and social Marxist anarchist leftists all be part of the same street scene?

“Climate change” is a red herring. The elephant in the room is POLLUTION. Our mindset of ‘bigger better faster more cheaper’ is causing mindless destruction of our planet – our ocean is no longer a fit habitat for marine life and our food chain is a toxic for-profit mess. Calling our problems something nobody can do anything about, ‘climate change’, is just a way to paper over the problem and let the consumption party continue. Glad I don’t have kids. Go ahead – let’s remove all the impediments to run-away wanton “growth” – the faster we “grow” the sooner we’ll destroy the whole planet using nukes to fight over the last few resources.
Cheryl Anne, thank you for commenting here.
That exhibition of your reasoning skills shows the rest of us how large a hurdle we have to surmount in countering the irrational beliefs of our contemporaries. It is “worse than we thought.”
Our biggest security during obama’s reign was obama!

Global warming is a socialist hoax.
I love it. President Trump is using plain ole common sense to run our country. Over turning Obambi’s stupid policies is just the right thing to do.
Sanity Prevails – Thank You President Trump!
What does any of this even mean…really? if he is not addressing and stopping the geoengineering which is what’s causing “global warming” in the first place its all just political theater.
Geoengineering our air column with toxic elements like Aluminum,Strontium and Barium,for 30+ years has already taken its toll. I will believe Trump when the military planes quit spraying their toxic crap on us.
It’s like the Paris accord,not really having anything to do with reality,and not stopping spray stuff on us without our knowledge or permission.
I live in Colorado and had my soil tested in Littleton and Penrose and they were BOTH 17,000-22,000 times too high in aluminum.
Do your homework folks,nothing is really changing here,just look at the sky.

The greatest threat to national security during the Obama administration was Obama himself. By dividing the populace in every conceivable way, trading terrorists for a deserter, hating on law enforcement, torching race relations, funding terrorism by sending billions to Iran, and choking business with regulation, and on & on, he did irrevocable damage.
” funding terrorism by sending billions to Iran”
Yeah, and some of that money is probably going to North Korea to fund its missile and nuclear weapons development programs, since North Korea and the Mad Mullahs of Iran are cooperating in these developments and have been for years.
Trump and the U.S. can try to cut off North Korea’s money with boycotts, but North Korea may be able to fall back on Obama/Iranian cash, at least in the shortterm, until North Korea can manage to mount a nuclear weapon on top of one of its missiles.
Then Trump is going to have to take Kim Jung-un out. So we may have Barrack Obama to thank for speeding up that process. We certainly can’t thank him for doing anything to slow the North Koreans down from developing nuclear weapons. To be fair, we should include the Bill Clinton administration and the Bush 43 administration in with Obama as they all failed to reign in the mounting danger in North Korea.
They had the luxury of kicking the can down the road and they did, but Trump and the rest of us no longer have that luxury. We are going to have to do something about it. Rhetoric and threats seem to be ineffective.
Donald Trump is DESTROYING satanic marxism in America. The satanic marxist communists who infiltrated and took over our government in BOTH parties are getting very, very nervous right now. I say they should all be rounded up and put on trial for their obvious treason’s, fraud and corruption. Death penalty would be appropriate in most cases. Make examples of the dirt bags! Let’s clean HOUSE! Never again! May God Bless And Protect Donald Trump!
