(FOX NEWS) At a time when the U.S. military is facing threats on multiple fronts — most immediately, the advances of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, where the terror group recently seized Ramadi — President Obama plans to tell U.S. Coast Guard Academy graduates that climate change poses a rising challenge for America, and the rest of the world.
“This is not just a problem for countries on the coast or for certain regions of the world. Climate change will impact every country on the planet. No nation is immune,” the president said in prepared remarks. “So I am here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security, and, make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country. And so we need to act-and we need to act now.”
The president will deliver the message at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.
