Who's Still Fighting Climate Change? The U.S. Military

#1

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/...-military/

 

The Defense Department has been planning for climate change for more than a decade, often in the face of roadblocks set up by climate science skeptics in Congress. In 2014 and again last year, Republicans in the House of Representatives added language to Defense Department spending bills prohibiting funds from being spent to plan or prepare for climate change. Terrorism is the greater threat, the authors of those prohibitions declared, and federal funding should be steered towards snuffing out ISIS instead. Both times, the restrictions were nullified by the Senate. It is too early to say whether efforts to bar defense spending on climate change will be tried again.

But he's gotten rich off the gullible, those committed to his cult.

The military does a lot of things to secure off the books funding for secret toys, teams, and missions that are necessary (and necessary to be kept off the books.)

If the climate didn't change, we'd still have big scary dinosaurs running around trying to eat us.

Your arguments illustrate you have a profound misunderstanding of what human induced climate change is or what it means, particularly in the context of what is considered natural variation.

The historical data is honest, unlike your take on the data.

 

Geno Smith all over again, yet the subject is what you think is "science."

This one is interesting. Gets to some of the meat of what the military is ramping up for.
