{NAME}, Last week I told you about a little âjokeâ Lauren Boebert made almost a year ago about climate change. Apparently she still thinks itâs funny, because a few days ago she repeated it at the Republican debate: [An animated GIF of a video clip of Lauren Boebert answering the question âIs climate change real and is it caused by humans?â Her response is: âClimate change uhm occurs 4 times every year. Itâs absolutely real. Thereâs many things we can do to manage our environment.â The moderator interjects with âJust yes or no.â and Boebert continues: âIt depends on the context. If itâs 4 times a year, absolutely, itâs real.â]( Itâs no surprise to me that Boebert treats an existential threat to our national security like a joke. She treats veterans like a joke, too â voting against us over 15 times. Well, Iâm not laughing â and neither are the voters of CO-4. [Thatâs why Iâm polling 14 points ahead of Boebert and thatâs why, with your support, we are going to beat her in November.]( Please donate today and share this message with everyone you know who wants to get Boebert out of Congress. Semper fi, Ike McCorkle Combat Wounded U.S. Marine Corps, Retired Democratic Candidate for CO-04 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ike McCorkle Date: Sun, May 26, 2024 Subject: Climate security is national security {NAME}, âI will go on the record with you all tonight and say that I absolutely believe in climate change. It happens four times every year.â Thatâs a joke Boebert made last summer while Americans were living through the hottest summer on record. Personally, I donât find it funny at all. We could explain to Boebert that climate and weather are not the same thing, and that climate change is the cause of these extreme fluctuations in weather. Of course we might not have to explain that if she bothered to listen to the Colorado cattle ranchers who are having to sell off their herds due to droughts caused by global warming. But as a decorated, combat-wounded Marine, my biggest problem with Laurenâs little wisecrack is not that she has no idea what sheâs talking about, itâs the fact that Lauren Boebert claims to care about our military and keeping our country safe while cracking jokes about one of the greatest national security threats we face. Thatâs not my opinion, thatâs the official assessment of the Department of Defense. Pentagon research has concluded that environmental degradation, social tensions, political instability, and global conflicts are increasing because of climate change. Itâs been 10 years since the Pentagon first declared it a major national security issue. Three years ago, they upgraded that threat level to an existential crisis. [A graphic featuring a headline from a DOD statement dated April 22, 2021, which reads: âDefense Secretary Calls Climate Change an Existential Threat.â]( In other words: this ainât new information, and I expect a member of Congress to damn well know better. [Iâm running for Congress because I KNOW the climate crisis is serious and we need serious people who will fight for real solutions.

Itâs impacting our food supply, wrecking communities with floods, wildfires, and droughts â and driving good hardworking Americans out of a job. But we can fix this. Iâve seen our country do incredible things when we set our minds to it, and I know we can rise to this challenge and save our planet. I take the climate emergency seriously, and I know you do, too. This is about the safety of our families and the security of our futures. Thatâs why Iâm in this race, and Iâm glad to have you on the team with me.
