The U.S. Department of Defense announced Wednesday it is assembling a “climate working group” following President Joe Biden’s executive order.

“Yesterday the secretary established the Department of Defense climate working group to support Executive Order 14008, which identified climate considerations as an essential element of U.S. foreign policy and national security,” Pentagon Press Secretary Mike Kirby said at a briefing.

Bryan, who previously served as deputy assistant to the Secretary of the Navy for Energy under the Obama administration, will oversee a group intended to coordinate the Department’s responses to Biden’s recent executive order and subsequent climate and energy-related directives and track implementation of climate and energy-related actions and progress, according to a statement.

The Department of Defense controls the purse strings for hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending and is a huge consumer of electricity, oil and gas, and industrial materials. Any steps it takes to improve the efficiency of its supply chain, reduce the emissions profile of its fleet of vehicles, and use renewable energy to power operations could make a huge contribution to the commercialization of renewable and sustainable technologies and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

The Pentagon is already including security implications of climate change in its risk analyses, strategy development and planning guidance, according to the statement, and is including those risk analyses in its installation planning, modeling, simulation and war gaming, and the National Defense Strategy.

China is gearing up to fight us, and this pathetic sissy pants Sec. of Defense is gearing up to fight gender dysphoria and the weatherman? We are so screwed.

uh no , climate change is not part of foreign policy. If anyone cared about national defense we would be oil independent and have the mfg base to buy what we need made here and somewhere other than china.

You need to work on your indoctrination. That's why it is call climate change not global warming anymore. Hot, cold, or lukewarm = BAD.

Climate change is a Chinese Communist conspiracy theory.

Does it mean any bans on US media's reporting on carbon foot prints of freedom projects will be lifted and US media can now pusblish articles that were published in European media?




What's the carbon footprint of … the Iraq war?

In addition to all its other impacts, the Iraq war has caused a huge amount of carbon pollution.

The carbon footprint of war:
690 million tonnes CO2e: a 'limited' nuclear exchange
250–600 million tonnes CO2e: the Iraq war since 2003

The direct human costs of wars are so great that it might seem flippant to think about their environmental impacts. But modern armed forces are rapacious consumers of energy and kick out vast quantities of carbon – emissions that may contribute towards human harm

Since China is one of the main polluters, does that mean they're going to go make them stop?
