Former security officials to Trump: Stop trying to undermine climate science

"It's dangerous to have national security analysis conform to politics," say 58 former military and security officials in a letter to the president.

President Donald Trump reportedly plans to convene a group of scientists to reassess the government's earlier conclusions on climate change.

 Top previous military and security authorities are cautioning President Donald Trump that environmental change is a danger to US national security.

On Tuesday, 58 previous authorities - including previous Secretary of State John Kerry and previous Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel - sent a letter to Trump voicing their complaints to a detailed gathering the White House intends to make to "debate and undermine" dangers presented by environmental change. The Washington Post prior gave an account of the letter.

"Forcing a political test on reports issued by the science offices, and driving a vulnerable side onto the national security appraisals that rely upon them, will disintegrate our national security," the authorities wrote in the letter. "It is perilous to have national security investigation adjust to legislative issues."

The White House didn't quickly react to a demand for input.

Environmental change has turned into a genuine worry as of late. A United Nation report in October cautioned that the world can just bear to get 0.5 degree hotter and that "quick and extensive" changes are expected to confine the temperature increment. In February, the Bramble Cay melomys, a rat found on a small island off Australia's far north coast and the main warm blooded creature local to the Great Barrier Reef, was proclaimed the primary well evolved creature to go wiped out due to human-instigated environmental change.

"We ask you to trust and regard the investigation of your own national security offices and the science offices on which their evaluations depend, including the 21 senior safeguard authorities that have recognized environmental change as a security risk amid your Administration," authorities composed. "How about we drop the legislative issues, and permit our national security and science organizations to carry out their responsibilities."
