Finding. It started under george w. Bush and was completed under president obama. There was a National Climate assessment that is required i law every four years. Republicans voted for that in 990. It calls out the dangers of Carbon Pollution and says it will increase ozone and asthma and hospital admissions. Climate change is projected to Harm Human Health by increasing groundlevel ozone. They specifically cite more Carbon Pollution as increasing Global Temperatures and increasing premature deaths and ozone and particle pollution. Is there any one of the four of you that has a problem with that analysis . Ok. Hey agree with that. I want to talk to my friend from alabama. I want to ask you this question. I have respect for your office and your opinion. Isnt it true that alabama lost all recent major Clean Air Act cases . They lost their legal challenge in the Supreme Court. In the White Stallion case they lost to the epa endangerment finding. Isnt that a fact . I dont doubt what youre
Be exchanged between the private sector. Weking about publicprivate, are talking about information sharing. When you are talking about the investigation, it is too late. To get to a point where we are , not in real time, in signaturesme, the that things are happening, we have to realize this is voluntary on the private sectors part. There is no law compelling them to do this. There probably should not be. Voluntary, we want to encourage the private sector to share information. Everyone agrees the sharing of this information is for the government to facilitate it. Reduce the hurdles and barriers to sharing the information with the government and with other entities. Better,ink security is if i am telling you what i am seeing and we are both telling dhs, the businesses that are doing that should not think there is going to be an antitrust violation if they share between each other or that dhs, which was designed to accept information from the private sector and disseminate going to publi
I would advise no one to watch that video. In a way we are giving them the oxygen they seek to be able to fulfill those object gives. That said, we also cant ignore these particular issues. I hate to say it but i think were going to see more of those lines. Wasou remember zarqawi bombed ae in iraq. He jordanian wedding, where he killed a number of wedding goers as well as family members. What you ended up seeing was a pushback that he crossed the line. He was behind beheadings and gruesome videos. Ultimately it did not resonate and sell the way he was looking for. It did for a percentage. It even got to the point where was sendingeader notes suggesting, this is too violent. To be able toing win the hearts and minds they were trying in their twisted kind of way to do. I am not sure that has staying power, but that is almost irrelevant. They are basically looking for small numbers to engage in. Brits fighting in iraq and syria. You have 900 french. You have approximately 100 americans. T

That is something perhaps we do not feel the full effect of what it means right now, but two or three years from now i think you will see it manifest in very new and dangerous sorts of ways. If you were to look at the threat environment right now and try to understand the terrorism environment, it does come in various shapes, sizes, and forms, ranging from al qaeda Senior Leadership is still in business. How effective are they . I think that is the wrong set of questions, because i think what you are starting to see is conflation is many of the organizations that are sort of going in an outsource model. An open source model whether working with, between and among one another. You see a conflation of conflict zones. You cannot fully separate al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and yemen and al qaeda
