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
• 2018

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.

This isn't even really new. (except to numb nuts deniers)
The Navy and other branches are already aware of Rising Sea Levels, and it has already caused problems.
This from the Union of Concerned Scientists, not just a climate group, but dealing in issuing reports on all disciplines of science.

Rising seas will increasingly flood many of our coastal military bases.
The US Military on the Front Lines of Rising Seas (2016)

....​

We must prepare for the growing exposure of our military bases to sea level rise.​

Naval Station Norfolk—the largest naval installation in the world—is projected to face 4.5 feet to nearly 7 feet of sea level rise this century. ​

​

Military bases at risk​

18 military installations are included in this analysis. Each location's changing exposure to flooding is projected through the end of the century:​

• Maine: Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
• New Jersey: US Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook
• Maryland: US Naval Academy
• Washington, DC: Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling and Washington Navy Yard
• Virginia: Joint Base Langley-Eustis | Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex | Naval Station Norfolk
• North Carolina: Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune
• South Carolina: Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort
• Georgia: Hunter Army Airfield | Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay
• Florida: Naval Air Station Key West | Naval Station Mayport | Eglin Air Force Base

Key findings​

The military is at risk of losing land where vital infrastructure, training and testing grounds, and housing for thousands of its personnel currently exist.​

[.....]​

• By 2050, Most of the installations in this analysis will see more than 10 Times the number of floods they experience today.
• By 2070, Half of the sites could experience 520 or more flood events annually- the equivalent of more than one flood daily.
• [*]By 2100, eight bases are at risk of losing 25% to 50% or more of their land to rising seas.
• Four installations—Naval Air Station Key West, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Dam Neck Annex, and Parris Island—are at risk of losing between 75% and 95% of their land by the end of this century.
• Flooding won’t be confined to the bases. Many surrounding communities will also face growing exposure to rising seas......

Bullshit as usual. "Union of Concern Scientists"? LOL. Talk about Environmental Wackos that have been caught lying. Idiots!

No discernible world wide rise in ocean levels.

Typical Environmental Wacko lying.

My family owns oceanfront property in Pinellas County Florida. About six feet above sea level. No change in the shoreline since it was purchased in the 1930s. Storms and hurricanes have changed the sand and the profile of the shoreline but the property is just as far above sea level as it always has been.

These Environmental Wackos are idiots to believe in this silly scam.

You haven't posted anything credible you idiot.

All you have done is posted obvious bullshit from an organization that has been corrupted by an Environmental Wacko in the White House. A stupid sonofabitch that promised he would do away with fossil fuels even before he stole the election.

We have caught DoD lying just about as many times as we caught NOAA and NASA, haven't we?

Only uneducated shitheads like you would cite sources that is run by a confirmed Environmental Wacko like this Joe Potatohead jerkoff.

You Moon Bats are just as ignorant of Climate Science as you are of Economics, History, Biology, Ethics and the Constitution.

There is no man made global warming. It is a scam. Any rise in sea level is part of the post glacial period warm up and it is natural and it is minimal.

Joe Potatohead and many of the other Environmental Wackos all own beachfront property. As these lying bastards how worried they are.

No they are not excellent, you dumbass.

There is no rise in the ocean level that can't be attributed to the normal post ice age warming trends that have been going on for the last ten thousand years.

The Principle scientists and the government agencies have all been caught lying about this AGW bullshit numerous times for almost three decades now and only uneducated idiots like you still hang on to believing the scam. Now we have a certified card carrying Environmental Wacko dufus heading up the government and putting out even more bullshit.

You really need to think seriously about pulling your Libtard head out of your Moon Bat ass. It makes you look like a fool whenever you post your silly ass denial.

Norfolk Wants to Remake Itself as Sea Level Rises, but Who Will Be Left Behind?
The proud Navy town sees itself as a living lab for coastal resilience, one in desperate need of solutions as flooding worsens. Not every neighborhood will be saved.
By Nicholas Kusnetz
MAY 21, 2018

[.....]​

A Living Lab for Adapting to Rising Seas​

On a bright day last winter, several dozen executives, architects, military officers and government officials from around the country gathered in a glass room atop Norfolk's main public library. It was the start of an initiative on coastal innovation, organized by a project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a local nonprofit that the city of Norfolk created to fund technological solutions to coastal resilience.​

​

The conference was exactly the type of event city leaders had hoped to host: one that draws a national mix of private and public sector leaders to use Norfolk as a laboratory for adapting to rising seas.​

​

The seed was planted in 2015, when Norfolk brought in a group from the Netherlands for what it called the "Dutch Dialogues." Andria McClellan, a city councilwoman who at the time was on the planning commission, said city officials realized then that climate adaptation could provide a vehicle for economic development.​

​

"Their technology around this is a huge portion of their GDP," she said of the Dutch. Much of the Netherlands lies below sea level, and the country's expertise on how to tame and adapt to water has become a national export.​

​

City leaders also began to realize that rather than focusing only on fortifying the areas at risk, they also needed to rethink the places that are relatively safer.​

​

"Let's focus on the areas that aren't at risk, and how we can develop and improve and densify those areas," said George Homewood, Norfolk's planning director, "so that our great little city by the sea gets to continue to be that great little city by the sea because we've been able to move it and shape it over time to places that are less at risk."​

​

In 2016, Homewood led the publication of "Vision 2100," a broad-strokes scoping document for how Norfolk could literally reshape itself into "the coastal community of the future."​

[.....]​

The 'Yellow Zone': Some Neighborhoods Won't Be Saved​

Along the coasts of the United States, cities were built under the seemingly safe assumption that land is land, and water is water. But the assumption of fixed coastlines proved wrong, and many neighborhoods may soon find themselves on the wrong side of the line.​

​

Around Norfolk, seas are expected to rise another 6 inches to 1.5 feet over the next three decades. The rate of sea level rise in the second half of the century is more uncertain. A rapid cut in global emissions would make a tremendous difference. Without that, more pessimistic projections say seas could rise 6.5 feet or more by 2100, a level that would inundate nearly 40% of Norfolk at least twice a month, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. About 350 other U.S. communities would be in similar shape or worse.​

​

While many of those communities may end up protected by walls or other infrastructure, there's growing recognition that some places will just get wetter and wetter and be lost to the sea.​

I'm sorry ... college science ...

0.042 mm/yr^2 (30 years)^2 + 3.4 mm/yr (30 years) = 139 mm ≈ 5-1/2" ... the width of a 2x6 ... {Cite} ...

Except Sea level is OF COURSE uneven not just an average. Currents and gravity could have it up some places and down others.
I posted an article Saturday.
and second, in that area, subsidence is a good part of the damage.
