Why is the DoD focused on fighting climate change?
American Thinker ^ | 13 Dec, 2024 | Chris Talgo

Given the state of affairs in Ukraine and the Middle East and the rise of China as a chief U.S. adversary, one would assume that the Department of Defense has its hands full combating real threats to U.S. national security. One would also assume that under the fraught geopolitics of the current world, the Department of Defense (DoD) would be harnessing its precious resources toward identifying future menaces that literally pose an existential threat to the security of the United States.

Climate change does not constitute a current threat to U.S. national security. However, the leaders of the DoD think otherwise. In fact, the DoD believes that the climate crisis is a “national security priority.”

On December 11, the DoD announced it is very concerned with climate change in Africa because “climate-stressed areas are a recruiting opportunity for terrorist groups.” Accordingly, the DoD declared, “The consequences of inaction on climate will be severe, and our allies and partners will face growing security challenges as a result.”

Tragically, this is only the latest example of the DoD being sidetracked fighting climate change.

More concerningly, this is part of a much larger effort to reorient the primary focus of the nation’s military from preventing real-world threats to abating the nonexistent threat of climate change.

In September of 2021, the DoD released its Climate Adaption Plan, which states, “The Department of Defense (DOD) has identified climate change as a critical national security issue and threat multiplier and top management challenge… [and] must take bold steps to accelerate adaptation to reduce the adverse impacts of climate change.” As expected, the 32-page plan outlines in intricate detail how the DoD must “integrate climate change adaptation and climate resilience across agency programs, management of real property, public lands and waters, and financial services.”

Under the dems, the DOD’s mission is no longer about defending this country. It is about whatever whim is on the dem’s minds at the moment.

Because if it's legal and not immoral, I'll do it.

If you order me to paint the grass green because a VIP is visiting the post, I would have taken my company and put them in line, spray cans in hand, and painted the burnt brown grass green.

That said, the military is a place where all these stupid social experiments and idiotic isms and philosophies can take root. Like all other government, there is no bottom line, ROI, customer, or real concept of risk management, and the leadership are basically political appointed hacks. So stupidity has a way of creeping in.

But the military is like a competitive sport, a boxing match or UFC fight, only the loser ends up failing at achieving the nation's goals and paying in blood.

That's dangerous! Anything taking away from our war-fighting ability will get people killed or hurt. Those in leadership that play along with these games which they KNOW impacts the military's effectiveness should not be in the positions they are in, plain and simple.

Simple... Climate change is the religion the one/new world government is using to take over the world. This means the DoD is not loyal to our national sovereignty, they are loyal to the one world order. And they have company, NATO, UN, CIA, FBI, Etc.

The New World Order is very very real and climate change is the religion and vehicle that are using to infiltrate and take over nations. This new forced religion of environmentalism started back in the 60s with the Chinese communist front the Sierra Club in collaboration with Berkeley.

Anyone involved in the “Climate Adaption Plan” should be booted out or transferred to the infantry.
