Good news: Napolitano Says DHS to Begin Battling global warming as Homeland Security Issue: "Securing the safety of the United States has become a farce. The Department of Homeland Security was instituted in the aftermath of 911, and now instead of protecting the country from terror attacks is turning its attention to advancing the liberal agenda under the pretense of protecting us from non-existent global warming. From CNS News via memeorandum: Napolitano Says DHS to Begin Battling Climate Change as Homeland Security Issue

At an all-day White House conference on 'environmental justice,' Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that her department is creating a new task force to battle the effects of climate change on domestic security operations.

Speaking at the first White House Forum on Environmental Justice on Thursday, Napolitano discussed the initial findings of the department’s recently created 'Climate Change and Adaptation Task Force.'

Napolitano explained that the task force was charged with “identifying and assessing the impact that climate change could have on the missions and operations of the Department of Homeland Security.”

The conference did not define “environmental justice,” and the only reference to the task force that can be found is on the DHS Web site. The June 2010 Department of Homeland Security Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan states “climate change has the potential to accelerate and intensify extreme weather events which threaten the nation’s sustainability and security.”

...The all day White House Forum on Environmental Justice also included talks by White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.

What the heck does HHS have anything at all to do with 'environmental justice?' Or for that matter the Labor Department? Or the Interior Department, let alone DHS? What the heck is this? Why can't these bureaucracies stick to their designated task without such absurd mission creep? Earlier this year, the nominated TSA chief wanted to tackle global warming by siphoning money from airport security: Obama TSA Nominee Erroll Southers Withdraws, Called Anti-Abortion Christians Terrorists, Put Global Warming Ahead Of War On Terror, Wanted Rationed Security. Here's the video from that sad episode (watch at the end when he infers that national security ought be rationed to save money for global warming and education!):

The protection of We the People, the #1 role of government, has become a joke and is taking a back seat to ideological ends. More from Don Surber, Pajamas Media, Right Wing News and Weasel Zippers
