At VoteVets.org, those of us who served in Iraq and Afghanistan joined the fight, running ad after ad after ad supporting a Clean Energy Climate Change plan &#8212; one that gets serious about reversing global climate change. The forces of the status quo (read: &#8220;Big Oil&#8221;) won the most recent battle, by successfully delaying consideration of the bill in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, for them and for us, no amount of campaign cash and lobbying will stop the coming humanitarian and national security catastrophe we&#8217;re getting a glimpse of this summer. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is there even an iota of evidence that the floods in Pakistan were the result of &#8220;climate change&#8221;? Even more importantly, is there any evidence that passing the Clean Energy bill would have effected &#8220;climate change&#8221; in the few months that it&#8217;s been sitting in Congress?<\/p>\n<p>Even the most indoctrinated climate change adherents must be shaking their heads at Soltz&#8217; partisan rantings. No person with any measure of common sense could take such buffoonery seriously.<br \/>\nYes, the Taliban and al Qaeda will try to exploit the flood with some success, but they&#8217;ll not be able to buy the loyalty of Pakistanis anymore than we can. It&#8217;s a constantly changing price tag.<\/p>\n<p>Soltz is no more an expert on climate science than he is on the Iraq war. Pieces like this one are notheing more than partisan rhetoric coming from a supposedly non-partisan organization with partisan money. I wonder when VoteVets is going to get down to the business electing veterans from across the political spectrum and get off the George Soros teat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today on VetVoice, head bomb-thrower Jon Soltz takes a giant leap in hastily assembled logic by &hellip; <a title=\"Jon Soltz&#8217; giant leap\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20314\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Jon Soltz&#8217; giant leap<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[478],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-none"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20314\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
