THE HILL: Sanders: Climate change poses ‘major’ national security threat.

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says climate change poses “major” national security threat to the U.S.

“I mean, we’re talking about, according to the CIA, future, major national security issues when people are forced to migrate because their countries or their land are flooded, they can’t grow food,” Sanders said at a rally in Keene, N.H., on Saturday. “We’re talking about a major, major crisis.”

The Vermont senator said there is no longer any debate among scientists on what causes climate change and what its consequences will be.

“The debate is over. Climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and it is already causing profound disturbances all over America and all over the world,” he said.

Sanders slammed the Republican Party for “rejecting science” on the issue of climate change.

Yeah, Bernie, you’re the reality-based one here.
