re: DoD Publishes Their Climate Risk Analysis

The unprecedented scale of wildfires, floods, droughts, typhoons, and other extreme weather events of recent months and years have damaged our installations and bases, constrained force readiness and operations, and contributed to instability around the world.



None of which can be controlled or mitigated by anything the defense department will attempt to do.

Even if I were to accept this pablum at face value, wouldn’t it be equally affecting all our enemies or potential enemies - being “global” and all? So why is it something we should particularly address FROM A NATIONAL DEFENSE PERSPECTIVE?

It doesn’t make much sense to me.

I’m all for keeping our military ready no matter what the climate conditions, but I don’t see why anyone would ever see the need to try and have the military directly address “climate conditions.”
