Former Senator John Warner Stars in Video about Climate Change and National Security. NYTimes, February 18, 2010. "Climate Patriots, is video was released by the Pew Project on National Security, Energy and Climate -- a project of the Pew Charitable Trusts that, according to its Web site, 'brings together science and military experts to examine new strategies for combating climate change, protecting our national security, increasing our energy independence and preserving our nation's natural resources.' The project was formed last summer when former Senator John Warner, a Virginia Republican, joined the Pew Environment Group in an effort to 'share with the public viewpoints on the critical links between national security, energy and global warming.' Climate Patriots [by Laura Lightbody, 4:37 min] is the project's latest foray in that effort. 'Climate change affects the sons and daughters who are currently stepping up to wear the uniform of our country,' Mr. Warner says in the video. 'They may be called upon to perform missions which are a consequence of an erratic climate change or shortage of energy or a variety of both.'"
