"The Department of Defense is abandoning its nearly two decades-long focus on climate change as a national security issue.
In a terse message to CNN, Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot said,
“Climate zealotry and other woke chimeras of the Left are not part of that core mission."
This is a major change for the Department of Defense that goes back at least five administrations. For reasons I've never really understood, the military has been vulnerable to environazis for decades. At Fort Bragg, large swaths of training area were put off limits because they were allegedly the nesting grounds of the then-endangered (it had a status upgrade in December) red-cockaded woodpecker. A freakin woodpecker. An acquaintance of mine was relieved of his command because one of his troops had pasted a picture of the bird on a target on a rifle range (the 1,000-inch range), and the wrong person happened onto the scene. If you're wondering why US Navy ships compare unfavorably to Soviet trawlers, circa 1980, in terms of rust, it is because the best paint is environmentally friendly." RS
