If any energy projects should be cancelled because they threaten national security it should be fossil fuel plants, since the US defense and intelligence communities have issued literally dozens of reports, over decades, consistently and clearly identifying fossil-fuel use and climate change as threats to national security and to the facilities and operations of the US military.

For more than fifty years, the US intelligence and defense communities have worked to understand the threats to national and international security from a range of environmental factors, including pollution, population, water and energy resources, and the accelerating impacts of climate change. These assessments have concluded that environmental threats from fossil fuels will both increase the potential for violence, conflict, and war, and have growing impacts on US military forces and infrastructure.

The moves show how difficult it may be for CBS to stop the episode, which focused on the experience of Venezuelans deported to El Salvadorian mega prison CECOT, from spreading across the internet. Bari Weiss stopped the episode from being released Sunday even after the episode was reviewed and checked multiple times by the news outlet, according to an email CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi sent to her colleagues.
