Our Mission
We believe that global warming is a real and growing threat to our national security – and we are committed to taking action before it's too late.
In order to raise public awareness of this threat and create a movement to take action, we are building an active, bipartisan coalition of scientists, foreign policy analysts, diplomats, military experts, retired generals, elected officials – and concerned Americans.
Continued inaction could result in the destruction of agricultural production and water supplies, dramatic political and military upheaval, and the dislocation of huge segments of the world's population.
What could that mean for America? Less secure borders. Failed states in regions of the world where terrorism flourishes. New and broader interventions by our military.
We resolve to face unafraid this dangerous threat, and to take the necessary action to protect American security interests. We deal in facts and scientific analysis, not political rhetoric. And we welcome your involvement and support.
