The US Military on the Front Lines of Rising Seas (2016)

[Crick]

Earth to Co2 fraud MORONS = a FLOOD is not OCEAN RISE

Let's put our four year old in the bath tub and turn on the taps. The tub begins to fill and since we're not watching, the water level continues to rise. Sometimes the child is rambunctious and sometimes they are quiet. As the water level nears the rim, will it first overflow when the child is active or when they are quiescent?

You've been told this repeatedly and yet you and several of your buddies here still don't get a concept that that four year old in the tub could grasp. As sea levels rise, the first time we will see its effects is when they are added to surges and storm swells.

So, I am the admiral in charge of Norfolk Naval Station. I have a huge, multi-billion dollar budget... but, it's never enough.

What is a way I can go back to my bosses and get more money in a way that they can't refuse, but totally gets me off the hook for mismanagement?

Gee... let me think....

I guess this is the standard denier response now. Any evidence you don't like is the product of liars and thieves, regardless of the quality of the evidence otherwise.

Government employees and politicians... so, pretty good odds.

Actually you're a demented former Falafel Vender whose never posted any data/link or even a thoughtful post. Just idiocy trying to be clever, or more oft funny.
You have no business in any science section.

‘A Large Portion of This Base Is Going to Be Underwater’: U.S. Military Hub Adapts to Climate​

Virginia’s Hampton Roads region, including Norfolk, is preparing for higher sea levels amid debates on strategy and costs​

Sean Barnes says tidal flooding has become more frequent where he lives on Back Bay, an estuary south of Virginia Beach, Va.

April 25, 2023 - Wall Street Journal

NORFOLK, Va.—This low-lying waterfront city rests in the most vulnerable place along the East Coast to rising sea levels, prompting billions in climate-infrastructure projects that have sparked debate about how best to protect neighborhoods.

To safeguard Norfolk, the city and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are leading a $2.6 billion, 10-year project that some other East Coast cities see as a model for pre-disaster coastal resilience. In nearby Virginia Beach, Va., residents in a referendum approved a $568 million bond to build tidal gates, pump stations and pipes to redirect water from heavy rainfall and tidal flooding. And communities are adapting their daily life in smaller ways, such as redirecting school-bus routes around tidal flooding.

“The alternative is to wait for the hurricane to hit us and then billions of dollars to get dumped in the community to fix it. That’s the old model,” said Kyle Spencer, Norfolk’s chief resilience officer. “The new model is trying to get it done pre-disaster.”

Officials in the southeast pocket of Virginia known as Hampton Roads, which includes Norfolk and Virginia Beach, are moving forward with the kind of multibillion-dollar projects that have stalled in cities such as Miami and New York. The flurry of activity—along with local arguments over strategy and costs—is expected eventually to be replicated along the East Coast.

Posted in a topic where the allegation, that the Norfolk Naval Base is "sinking" due to "ocean rise," is completely busted as bullshit fraud/fudge due to ONE storm in 2017.

Why does CrusaderFrank hate our military?

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.

  [*]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.
