WFB: As the Obama administration focuses on a larger effort to push its climate change agenda, the Pentagon will now “address the impacts of climate change.” This includes engaging in “deliberate preparation, close cooperation, and coordinated planning” to “improve climate preparedness and resilience,” according to the directive.
The partnership will include state governments and the private sector.
The directive is to be obeyed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, all the military branches, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and most all other entities operating under the Pentagon umbrella.
“The DoD must be able to adapt current and future operations to address the impacts of climate change in order to maintain an effective and efficient U.S. military,” according to the 12-page directive.
“Mission planning and execution” must now include an assessment of the “effects of climate change on the DoD mission.”

Can someone please explain to me what the DoD is expected to do to address climate change? Have a symposium to talk about it? Have a luncheon or two where the words Climate Change are uttered incessently? Make some Ad Council inspired pamphlets? What? How much money is going to be spent and wasted on nothing but bullshit talking points? Are they going to put solar panels on Air Craft Carrier Groups? M1A1 Abrams tanks? On soldiers helmets? What? Jesus Christ, leftists are truly bat shit crazy. They really are nutty nut burgers.
Neutron bomb. Less dust. More dead people. Win-Win.
Maybe the White House water comes from Flint, MI. You know that would explain a lot.
With only a year to go, this is a good outcome.
US Navy likely responded with a request to transfer funding from the Army to the Navy relative to the increased change in sea levels.
Hello, Climate Change.

You ARE aware, are you not, that the USAF is already being forced to use "green" jet fuel made from bio-mass that, in a time of severe budget cuts in the Defense budget, costs "only" ONE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS/gallon!!!
The Pentagon's actually been taking this seriously on their own for quite a while.

I was aware of this, but I thought it was simply in the study phase and not in the implementation phase. More ridiculousness from DC. I really do think we need to burn it down to build it back up again. There is just no conceivable way to save this union anymore. It's just not sustainable anymore.
"The Pentagon's actually been taking this seriously on their own for quite a while."
Now if we could just get Al Gore and the rest of the big carbon footprint, globe trotting cheerleaders to take it serious with their own lives, instead of everyone else's.
You know who else took Global Warming serious?
