The Pentagon scrubbed its latest National Defense Strategy of all references to climate change, an Orwellian rhetorical shift away from a scientific reality at an agency that has long avoided the issue’s politics.
A summary document released Friday morning makes no mention of “climate,” “warming,” “planet,” “sea levels” or even “temperature.” All 22 uses of the word “environment” refer to the strategic or security landscape. The 11-page memo, signed by Defense Secretary James Mattis, is the first update to the policy in a decade.
It’s unlikely the Department of Defense will release a full National Defense Strategy report; instead, the document is expected to remain classified. The Pentagon did not immediately return a call requesting comment.

I do not recall the DOD having a Climate Change Policy under President Bush.
I recall it under President Obama.
The winning just keeps happening!
Holy sht, Bush started this bull sht!? The guy is a complete yes man fool
That would be amazingly foolish to call islam peace and defund war on terror funds for climate communist Bs in the Pentagon...
Libs say “retreat from”.
Those of us with true science backgrounds say “good analysis changes to”.
Haha!
Haha!
* for the benefit of any lurking (D)imbulbs: climate and weather are not synonymous.
Notice that it said “BUSH” era policy. Yet another reason why I never want to see another “compassionate conservative” Bush in office again.
How about in 2013:”The FBI’s own departmental counter-terrorism analytic lexicon was purged of key words that could reference Islamic terrorism. Words like Muslim, Islam, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and sharia were not mentioned once in the FBI’s counter-terrorism lexicon afterwards.”
Might as well blame that on Bush too. I mean if the economic success in 2017 is due to Obama then certainly Bush is responsible for this.
Read an article today about the fishing fleet out of Dutch Harbor AK burning 13 millions gallons of fish oil in place of diesel in 2015.
Don’t know the details but sounds like a perfectly reasonable use of “sustainable” fuel.
“* for the benefit of any lurking (D)imbulbs: climate and weather are not synonymous.”
The two are inseparable in defining one or the other. Only in degree of time period characteristics.
Notice that it said “BUSH” era policy.
I believe the Progressives are lying about this.
I have not been able to find any instances of “Climate Change” being considered a military priority before President Obama’s administration.
There where renewable energy initiatives, not the same thing at all.
There where should be .... There were.
