Admiral Locklear Jumps the Shark

I came across this one in my Twitter feed this morning, under the headline "Climate Change Tops List of Security Threats in the Pacific Says ADM Locklear". 

Breathtaking.

Not North Korean nukes, not Chinese hegemonic impulses, not a re-arming Russia.  Climate change.

I have no issue accepting the prospect that land is being lost to the sea, slowly--glacially slowly--displacing human beings.

My problem is that a military commander with the scope of responsibility of the Pacific Commander has this atop his list of concerns.
