John Kerry, Chuck Hagel lead former national security officials in rebuke of Trump's climate skeptic panel
Former Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, along with nearly 60 other retired national security and military leaders, said Tuesday that President Trump’s attempt to create a panel to challenge climate change science will make America less safe.
“Imposing a political test on reports issued by the science agencies, and forcing a blind spot onto the national security assessments that depend on them, will erode our national security,” the former officials wrote in a letter to Trump. "Let’s drop the politics, and allow our national security and science agencies to do their jobs."
Retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a Trump critic, also joined the letter, which includes officials that served in Republican and Democratic administrations dating back to former President Dwight Eisenhower.
