No, this isn't satire

A quick scan of the news today and one sees headlines like:

ISIS is 'everywhere,' in full control of ancient Syrian city of Palmyra

ISIS Must Be Stopped From Destroying Ancient City, U.N. Says

After A Big Victory For ISIS, Iraqi Forces Look To Regroup

The ISIS March Continues: From Ramadi on to Baghdad?

Those headlines sharing space with the following:

Pentagon: No major review underway on strategy to defeat ISIS

While all of that is going, we get this from the President of the United States during a commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy:

"The threat of a changing climate cuts to the very core of your service," Obama told the 224 graduating cadets, who studied the impacts of global warming as part of their curriculum.

"It will affect everything that you do in your careers," Obama added, noting that sea levels were expected to rise by 1 to 4 feet (30-120 cm) in the coming century.

...

"Around the world, climate change increases the risk of instability and conflict," he said. "Make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country. So we need to act, and we need to act now."

"Denying it or refusing to deal with it endangers our national security," he added. "It undermines the readiness of our forces."

I don't know how else to say this folks... I really don't... so pardon the bluntness but...

We're in serious shit with this President at the helm and with the idiots that are feeding him this sort of garbage.

Serious shit.

Dear God, forgive the cursing... but please, have mercy on us.

So...a .6" to .8" sea level increase over a 20/30 career is obviously more pressing than...Iraq and Syria being taken over by ISIS...and Iran...and...and...

IDIOT!
