As the Middle East once again descends to the brink of large-scale war, Russita is sending troops to the border with Ukraine, and China is making overtures that they intend to attack Taiwan, our President and his Secretary of Defense are instead focusing on the bigger issue facing the country militarily, &#8220;climate change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I do so like the moving goal posts on this. First it was &#8220;global cooling&#8221; and the coming ice age. When that didn&#8217;t pan out, they switched to &#8220;global warming&#8221; and made many prophecies of doom. Again, when the reality of the world didn&#8217;t mesh up with their prior reading to tea leaves, they now call it &#8220;climate change.&#8221; Climate change is a game where the rules are made up as you go and the points don&#8217;t matter. Everything is a sign of impending apocalypse. <a href=\"https:\/\/cei.org\/blog\/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CEI does a pretty good job covering their 50 years of abysmal predictions.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the Army is working on. It&#8217;s a big press release, so I&#8217;ll hit some of the high points.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>the Army is prioritizing climate change considerations in its threat picture, strategic plans, operations and installations. The Army is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Including climate risk analyses in modeling and simulation activities and daily operational missions.<\/li>\n<li>Investing in technologies to provide enhanced capabilities for operational energy and modernization priorities, and support mitigating and adapting to climate change.<\/li>\n<li>Addressing climate threats and integrating energy efficiency and renewable energy into the installation portfolio, including supply chain considerations in procurement.<\/li>\n<li>Making changes to installation master planning, natural resource planning, and design, construction and sustainment standards to address climate risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Army stood up the Army Climate Change Working Group (ACCWG) on Mar. 10, 2021 and is developing the Army\u2019s Climate Strategy and Army Climate Action Plan.<\/p>\n<p>The Army is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conducting in-depth assessments of likely climate change effects on the Army\u2019s worldwide missions.<\/li>\n<li>Strategizing and planning to mitigate climate threats, with emphasis on Soldier resilience, energy reform, and capability enhancement and procurement.<\/li>\n<li>Advancing development and use of renewable energy, energy and water efficiency and consumption, and other environmental initiatives that steward the land, air and water to enable Army operations and maximize readiness.<\/li>\n<li>Poised to lead the way in technology development for tactical vehicles that balances increased capability with decreased climate impacts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure China, who&#8217;s belching out more greenhouse gases than the entire developed world\u00a0<em>combined,<\/em> are greatly enjoying our military focus on identity politics and &#8220;green&#8221; technology. The vast majority of green tech tends to favor China anyway, since they have no reservations about making wind turbine blades that can&#8217;t be recycled and strip mining their country for rare-earths to make our non-recyclable batteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poe sent in this US Army press release, titled Addressing Climate Change Threats.
