How NATO Is Taking the Fight to Climate Change
The National Interest ^ | October 19, 2022 | by Paul Cormarie

It may seem surprising that a military alliance could become a leading organization in the fight against climate change. But in its new Strategic Concept and recent declarations, NATO members have indicated that they are actively preparing to face climate change-related challenges

NATO began its green transition as climate change became a greater security concern for its member states. The Department of Defense’s 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review identified climate change as a threat to national security and called for reducing the danger posed to its facilities.

In many different ways, climate change has been affecting the planning and conduct of military operations, damaging military bases and infrastructure, while at the same time straining military forces’ resources in new theaters of conflict.

In order to better understand these challenges and their role in combating climate change, alliance members have directed the organization to focus their work on developing research on climate-related insecurity. Its Science and Technology Organization (STO)’s work on climate change has been focused on maritime research, especially directed toward the high north, and, so far, has been limited outside of that area. In 2006, NATO also created the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Program, which sought to develop initiatives on energy security as well as environmental security issues like water management and the prevention of natural catastrophes.

In an era of renewed great power competition, geopolitical demands could reverse this positive trend by fueling a new arms race that is unaccountable to climate requirements.

In light of these strategic challenges, NATO’s “green” push will need to articulate that a robust alliance is compatible with safeguarding the environment.

Climate change is a power grab and money laundering scheme to take money and power away form “We the People” and create a world dictatorship.

“Climate Change” is like tilting at windmills.

Half or more of the entire world is tilting at windmills. Leftism really is a metal disorder.

I am a hearty supporter of NATO’s new direction. May I suggest the new slogan:

Nuke Climate Change!

In the kingdom of the beast who will rank higher than homosexuals and transgenders?

These people are set to take the Mark of the Beast and lead the charge in killing Christians.

Stupid Putin. All he had to do is wait a couple of more years. NATO will have switched from SAMs and tanks to strongly worded letters.
