“China is on track to triple its nuclear arsenal by 2035. Russia continues its saber-rattling in Ukraine. North Korea is hell-bent on developing the capability to deliver nuclear weapons at longer ranges, conducting dozens of missile tests in this last year, and Iran is weeks away from obtaining nuclear weapons. But on Sunday night, President Biden said, and I am quoting him: The only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a nuclear war is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next . . . 10 years. The leader of the free world believes that global warming is a bigger threat to global security than nuclear war. Now, I am not dismissing the importance of our climate. We should continue to take responsible, commonsense action to address climate change, and we should support an ``all of the above'' energy strategy. We should promote policies to ensure that we have clean air, clean water, and we should do that without hindering economic prosperity or burdening hard-working Americans and their families. But the President's claim that global warming is more frightening than nuclear war sends the wrong signal to our adversaries and to our allies. It demonstrates a total ignorance of the instability of today's global threat environment.…”
