Why didn’t America’s top notch intelligence agencies pick up on the fact that Hamas was planning a horrific and vicious attack against Israeli civilians?

Well there are a number of reasons for that, but one of them is that Joe Biden had his entire intel community focused on climate change.

Here’s more via Free Beacon:

While the Hamas terror group was working with Iran to launch its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the Biden administration’s intelligence community was ramping up efforts to combat climate change, raising questions about America’s failure to detect the terror attack.

As the Israel-Gaza conflict enters its second month, congressional leaders are beginning to examine whether the Biden administration’s intelligence shift—which included adding a climate scientist to his Intelligence Advisory Board, a task force that tracks national security issues, and executive orders that required the intelligence community to assess security threats posed by climate change—may have contributed to America’s failure to spot Hamas’s planning beforehand. Hamas had been planning the attack for over a year, according to reports.

Biden appointed his first-ever climate scientist to his Intelligence Advisory Board…

In January, President Joe Biden signaled his administration’s shift to climate change when he appointed the first-ever climate scientist to his Intelligence Advisory Board, a decades-old task force that tracks national security issues across the globe. Brown University professor Kim Cobb, an “expert on climate extremes and coastal flooding,” was tasked with reviewing “the work of U.S. spy agencies to make sure they are considering threats from all angles,” as well as policing the board “to make sure that the intelligence offered to the president is taking into account climate-related security issues,” the Washington Post reported.

Biden issued multiple executive orders that forced the intel community to focus on climate change…

Biden followed this with several executive orders that reportedly “required the intelligence community to assess the national security threats posed by climate change.” Biden’s focus on climate change also extended to the American military, with the Pentagon classifying these issues in 2021 as “a critical national security issue.”

…White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said during an Oct. 11 press briefing that the attack was “a massive intelligence failure.”

The Biden administration’s focus on climate change was on full display during Haines’s testimony earlier this year in front of Congress.

“Climate change remains an urgent threat that will increasingly exacerbate risks to U.S. national security as the physical impacts increase and geopolitical tensions mount over the global response to the challenge,” Haines said.

The State Department, America’s diplomatic face across the world, followed the intelligence community’s lead when it appointed John Kerry as its first special presidential envoy for climate, a position that has enabled the former secretary of state to cut deals with China on issues like carbon emissions.

The administration’s focus on what Republicans view as far-left priorities may have diverted America’s intelligence capabilities, leading to what even the White House admits was a significant intelligence failure on Oct. 7, according to one congressman.

Given how secretive Iran and Hamas kept this terrorist attack during planning, it’s entirely possible that the US wouldn’t have known about it, just as Israel didn’t. However it’s also possible that our intel community was too busy trying to comply with Biden’s obscene executive orders rather than paying attention to Hamas operatives going to Iran to train.
