Concerning the American military’s response to climate change, a reader writes:
Now you got me wondering how much of the hubbub in the South China Sea is related to a desire to control access to ocean life as it migrates north from equatorial waters. Pretty much every form of life capable of migrating to temperate climates will as global warming increases. We definitely need to be focusing on food sources during that shift and the smart money will be anticipating. The U.S. isn’t even reacting.
I wonder how many GOPers are depending on the private sector to take care of it, without understanding that the governments of other nations are going to provide their food sectors with all the extra muscle they can – and that our private sector will be at a disadvantage.
