Climate Depot\u2019s Morano Response:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWrong! The Pentagon is absolutely \u2018a bunch of green tree-huggers\u2019 under Biden-Harris.\u00a0 The Pentagon has been hijacked by climate nuts who want to virtue signal to Net Zero while distorting U.S. military preparedness and focus.

Via Military.com<\/a>: <\/strong>The 50-page plan<\/a>, which is an extension of the service\u2019s overall Army Climate Strategy released earlier this year, offers a series of ambitious goals to meet Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin\u2019s 2021 call to \u201cimmediately take appropriate policy actions to prioritize climate change considerations\u201d as the Pentagon points to several instances of climate change-related events that have affected the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Climate Strategy Implementation Plan said: \u201cWhile the Army cannot address all or even most GHG emissions, the right initiatives, investments, and policies can significantly reduce Army GHG emissions while at the same time enhancing readiness.\u201d \u2026 The Army is looking to further reduce that consumption, while battening down the hatches for the damage climate change will likely bring. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
