U.S. Air Force and Space Force officials released a climate action plan Wednesday that includes a goal of operating bases at net-zero emissions by 2046, an ambitious effort to rein in the sizable carbon footprint of the U.S. military’s air wing.
The plan released Wednesday is the first of its kind in Air Force history and joins a growing list of acknowledgments from U.S. armed forces that they will have to make changes as climate change intensifies.
The plan also aims to include, within the next two years, climate considerations into the way it educates and trains Air Force and Space Force personnel.
“I want them to get to a place where, as they make decisions, even at the tactical level down at the base, they make those decisions based upon what risks and effects climate change can have on the ability of them doing their job every day,” Oshiba said.
The most ambitious goal in the plan is to shift the department away from its reliance on fossil fuels as both aviation fuel and as an energy source, something crucial for meeting the lofty net-zero emission goals.
“While the department cannot singularly reverse the causes of climate change, we can reduce our energy footprint and increase demand for zero-carbon-based energy sources,” the Air Force plan reads. “We must both reduce our energy con

Irresponsibly STUPID!
Yeah, Dad’s uncle assembled the Hiroshima and Nagasaki devices. My family was never interested in “Environmental impacts”. Just destroying the enemy.
Whether foreign or domestic, per our oaths.
Ah, back to the original F-1.
Afterburners powered by marshmallows.

Senior officers? No, the organizational gutting needs to extend to field grade officers and SNCO’s.
Beat me to it :)
Put a catalytic converter on all aircraft.
And then have them all stolen.
Uh yeah.
U.S. Air Force is waaaaaaaaaay to SMALL to change the CLIMATE , what a bunch of fools
Here is my plan for USA military net zero. Add up all the military carbon emissions then bomb the correct number of Chinese power plants each year. I would say European plants also but since they will all freeze to death this winter it’s OBE.
Exactly.
Someone, maybe many need to be fired and lose all their benefits.
Want to lose wars? This is how you lose wars.
The problem becomes, will the next Republican president and Congress take the radical steps necessary to reform our military and rid it of its infestation of Communist traitors? This was going on under Trump’s nose, you saw the generals he got. There need to be mass sackings, and promotions of junior officers who aren’t Communist tools.
I’m thinking there are not a lot of Monty Python fans out there.
