Expanded quote: from James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA (1993-1995):

"I was testifying before a (Congressional) House committee (in 2010) and a one of the members was very skeptical of climate change and was arguing with me because I had presented some of the reasons why I thought climate change was a serious problem. And I finally said, 'Congressman, look, set aside climate change, you realize that 7 of the 9 things I suggested will help us be a lot more resistant against terrorism or oil cut offs?' And he said 'Oh, if you do it for that reason its fine."
