Have a Big Idea?

The Pentagon has viewed manmade climate change as a major national security threat since as far back as early in the George W. Bush administration. Yet many politicians, due to the millions of dollars in campaign "donations" (really bribes) from the pet industries that are threatened by this reality, still vocally deny the science. Since these politicians are materially threatening the national security of the United States, the Dept. of Homeland Security should detain and interrogate them.

To clarify, yes, this is a "stunt", but I want to see Congress start to talk about climate change in terms of national security, and the "security hawks" that regularly lie about this issue to have to face the implications of their words.
