DOD Preparing for Climate Change Impacts, Official Says​

June 15, 2022 | DOD News |

Climate change has serious implications for national security, said the Defense Department's chief sustainability officer and senior advisor for climate.

Joe Bryan joined a panel discussion yesterday on "U.S. Climate Security Investments: Changing Plans into Actions" at a virtual Center for Climate and Security event.

"Climate change is dramatically increasing the demand for military operations and, at the same time, impacting our readiness and our ability to meet those demands while imposing unsustainable costs on the department," he said.

Among the global effects of climate change are a Warmer climate; changing precipitation patterns; and, more frequent, intense and unpredictable extreme weather.

  • Army’s plan to battle climate change—and still fight wars

How the branch that operates the fuel-guzzling M1 Abrams tank wants to reduce emissions, while not decreasing the scope of its operations.
FEB 11, 2022

On Tuesday, the US Army released its climate strategy, a big policy plan that details steps and goals for how this branch of the military will be adapting to climate change, while still preserving its ability to fight wars. The strategy, which outlines everything from greenhouse gas reduction targets to electrification of vehicles, is transformative within constraints. As outlined, the Army is working towards doing what it already does while producing fewer emissions, rather than reducing the scope of its operations.


The report, a tight 20 pages front-to-back, outlines three primary areas for how the Army plans to adapt to climate change. These areas cover better buildings, better vehicle purchases and supply chains, and better training.


“The effects of climate change have taken a toll on supply chains, damaged our infrastructure, and increased risks to Army Soldiers and families due to natural disasters and extreme weather,” wrote Christine E. Wormuth, Secretary of the Army, in the foreword to the strategy. “The Army must adapt across our entire enterprise and purposefully pursue greenhouse gas mitigation strategies to reduce climate risks.”

For its more than 130 installations across the globe, the Army intends to incorporate on-site carbon-pollution-free power generation by 2040, which suggests wind and/or solar power, but possibly other options as well. Heating and powering buildings is a major source of energy use, though one the military has passively gotten better at, as it has reduced the number of bases it maintains and builds new facilities in accordance with energy efficiency standards...."

This is the Army's plan to battle climate change—and still fight wars

A short new report outlines the branch's strategy, which focuses on steps to reduce emissions while not shrinking its operational scope.

The fraud siphons off money everywhere. DOD. State. Local. Dept of the Interior.


If the GOP was actually serious about cutting wasteful spending, the CO2 fraud is GROUND ZERO, since it has ZERO EVIDENCE to back itself up...

Is the military doing enough to protect bases from sea level rise and other natural disasters?


Members of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee expressed concerns that the U.S. military may not be doing enough when it comes to addressing the issue.
Is the military doing enough to protect bases from sea level rise and other natural disasters?
March 29, 2021

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) concluded that 53 military bases face current threats from recurrent flooding.

The list includes Langley Air Force Base, Naval Air Station Oceana, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads, and, Naval Station Norfolk.
"Hampton Roads is particularly at risk because of sea-level rise," said Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Virginia, 2nd District).

For the past decade, the DoD has acknowledged climate change as a threat to the readiness of its installations. It spent $67 million in 2020 to help bases that are vulnerable to flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires work with their surrounding communities on projects that would prevent damage.

Above is what the Co2 fraud describes as "ocean rise..."
 
abu afak 3 facts.

Fact 1 - You feel climate change is solely man made due to co2 emissions.

Fact 2 - You've taken the moral high ground in believing you can ridicule everyone as deniers.

Fact 3 - You've personally belched out loads of co2 in your life time, and you continue to do so.

We're you bullied at school?
 
abu afak 3 facts.

Fact 1 - You feel climate change is solely man made due to co2 emissions.
Global warming observed since the Industrial Revolution is due almost entirely to the greenhouse effect acting on human CO2 emissions. That is the view of very close to every published climate scientist on this planet based on mountains and mountains of peer reviewed evidence. Thinking otherwise is simply not supported by the facts. Abu Afak's position goes way beyond "feel".
Fact 2 - You've taken the moral high ground in believing you can ridicule everyone as deniers.
He doesn't ridicule everyone. He ridicules deniers. And a good argument may be made that they deserve it.
Fact 3 - You've personally belched out loads of co2 in your life time, and you continue to do so.
Irrelevant.
We're you bullied at school?
Worse than irrelevant.
 
abu afak 3 facts.

Fact 1 - You feel climate change is solely man made due to co2 emissions.
Yes and I've backed it with a Hundreds of links.
Have you refuted it at all?

Fact 2 - You've taken the moral high ground in believing you can ridicule everyone as deniers.
No, I've taken the Intellectual high ground based on facts/sources.
Have you refuted it at all?


Fact 3 - You've personally belched out loads of co2 in your life time, and you continue to do so.

We're you bullied at school?
More of your usual idiotic personal comments.
You are one of the many posters here with well down into 2 digit IQs, and No meaty topical replies at all.

Your knowledge of the climate is poor, you just copy and paste crap. You can't organise your own life so you're simply jumping into the climate bandwagon, adopting pseudo moralistic stances. And yes, you were bullied at school.

So still No rebuttal of me or my links.
Just a minutes ago in another thread - NOAA - Probably my most used link.
What's yours?
Have you even used Any to back your opinion. ('politics'/Insanity would be more accurate in your case)

You're just a RW Troll who objects politically/personally.
Crawl back in your whole, you have NOTHING factual To offer on this topic.
Nothing.

Climate change threatens Half of US bases worldwide, Pentagon report finds
  • Defense department says wild weather could endanger 1,700 sites
  • Findings run counter to White House views on climate
Nearly half of US military sites are threatened by wild weather linked to climate change, according to a new Pentagon study whose findings run contrary to White House views on global warming.

Drought, wind and flooding that occurs due to reasons other than storms topped the list of natural disasters that endanger 1,700 military sites worldwide, from large bases to outposts, said the US Department of Defense (DoD).

“Changes in climate can potentially shape the environment in which we operate and the missions we are required to do,” said the DoD in a report accompanying the survey.

“If extreme weather makes our critical facilities unusable or necessitates costly or manpower-intensive workarounds, that is an unacceptable impact.”

The findings put the military at odds with Donald Trump, who has repeatedly cast doubt on mainstream scientific findings about climate change, including this week during an interview on British television.

Trump has also pulled the United States out of the global 2015 Paris accord to fight climate change.

The Pentagon survey investigated the effects of “a changing climate” on all US military installations worldwide, which it said numbered more than 3,500.

Assets most often damaged include airfields, energy infrastructure and water systems, according to military personnel at each site, who responded to the DoD questionnaire.

John Conger, a senior policy analyst at the Center for Climate and Security in Washington, said the report’s commissioning by Congress showed a growing interest by lawmakers into the risks that climate change poses to national security.

The study was published late last week and brought to public attention this week by the Center for Climate and Security.

And the "evidence" of such "sea rise" is a storm surge from 2017 at one base that is clearly not sinking....
 
The Co2 fraud is taking our tax dollars and flushing them down the toilet over nothing. And we are near default.

Absolutely outrageous!!!
 
Global warming observed since the Industrial Revolution is due almost entirely to the greenhouse effect acting on human CO2 emissions.


Except Co2 isn't warming the atmosphere at all.

Sincerely,
