Quote of the day

I was the first U.S. Central Command public affairs officer for the operation we called ELF-One (European Liaison Force) at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, back in the mid 80s. When Antony Zinni, a former commander of CENTCOM speaks on the record, I listen.

Here’s what Zinni says about climate change:

“We will pay for this one way or another. We will pay to reduce greenhouse has emissions today, and we’ll have to take an economic hit of some kind. Or we will pay the price later in military terms. And that will involve human lives. There will be a human toll. There is no way out of this that does not have real costs.”
