Center for a New American Security

First Carly Fiorina dismisses climate change as "the weather". Then she pokes fun at Barbara Boxer for thinking climate change might be a national security issue. Ugh. Look, we can have a debate about whether or not climate change is man-made or whether or not it is reversible, I guess, but things like polar ice caps melting and creating new sea lanes is most certainly a national security issue. I cannot wait to watch Parthemore or Rogers tee off on this ad, but I will pre-empt them both by directing you to our Natural Security page, their awesome blog, and the two most recent (and excellent) CNAS reports (here and here) on the impact climate change will have on the security environment and U.S. policy.

(I have never met Barbara Boxer and could care less whether or not she gets re-elected. But as you all know by now, my secret joy is reading about business and finance in my spare time. So as you listen to Fiorina speak here, I want you all to remember that HP's share price dropped 60% when she was the CEO. She also received a $20+ million golden parachute when she was fired from her job and was named one of the 20 worst American CEOs of all time. This is almost as awesome as when Tommy Franks inevitably runs for office and tauts his wartime command experience as a reason to vote for him.)
