HI

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but for those who don't think Climate change is real I have questions.

Since 2010 the Chairman and CEO of Exxon who I now believe is or will be the Secretary of State has publicly admitted that Climate Change is real and that man is causing it. The degree of our involvement he has never stated. What's up with that?

Since around the same time no less than 4 DOD agencies have been involved NOT in the researching as to whether Climate change exists but how it will effect the planet and thereby the security of our country. How is it that there are so many conservative boneheads out there denying Climate change and one of the most conservative organizations on earth not only admits its real but is taking steps to deal with it. What's up with that?

September 14, 2016 FOX NEWS reported - Climate Change poses significant risk to the US.

If you look on the DOD website or its archives you will see numerous statements, articles and position papers dealing with the effects of climate change

I'm wondering if it goes back to the tobacco trials and perjury by experts and executives at that time. Tillerson is privy to expensive Global Warming info and it is probably documented, so admitting Global Warming is real prevents perjury charges later. Maybe?

Most of the people who are skeptical of AGW, are not skeptical that Human activity is altering the climate, but the extent.
The IPCC says the ECS from doubling the CO2 level will be between 1.5 and 4.5 C, the AR5 report did not include a best estimate.
The low end of the prediction, between 1.5 and 2 C, would look much like the amount of change that has existed since our grandparents time.
The catastrophic portions of the predictions are for the mid to high end of the range.
Thankfully many of the studies based on the actual observed data, place the ECS at between 1.5 and 2 C.

So Human caused Climate change is real, and the DOD agencies evaluating what if scenarios, is kind of part of their job.
Neither of the two statements imply that the expected changes will include the catastrophic predictions of the IPCC.
