CNSNews.com – "Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) said that climate change, "pure" oceans and the reduction of carbon emissions are national security issues because they affect our military and the enemies we "fight" around the globe.

• “Our intelligence analysts and our military folks tell us that environment factors, exactly --

• environmental factors determine who we’re going to be fighting,

where we’re going to fighting them, whether we’re going to be fighting them,” said Israel. “And so for me, for my colleagues,

• climate change is a national security issue.”

• Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a liberal environmental group, on April 22, Earth Day.

“Clean air and water is a national security issue,” said Israel. “Reducing carbon is a national security issue. Pure oceans is a national security issue.

• And so the NRDC, the defense part of NRDC
• is about defense.

And the best way to secure defense is to make sure you’re living on a planet that is stable and secure and that provides what people need everyday in their lives.”

According to its Web site, the NRDC’s mission is to “safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals and the natural systems on which all life depends.”"
