One thing we’ve learned from President Obama’s weekend trip to Germany is that the G7 leaders, working together, apparently have the means of maintaining the earth’s temperature within a margin of 2 degrees Celsius.
That’s great news, seeing as former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel confirmed last year that “a changing climate will have real impacts on our military and the way it executes its missions.” Once the climate is stabilized, nailing down the final details of America’s strategy for defeating ISIS should be no problem. Until then, we’ll just have to be patient and live with President Obama’s admission in Germany that “we don’t yet have a complete strategy.” Where have we heard that before?
Time for our leaders to put their heads together … while they’re still attached to their bodies.
