The Pentagon has edited a report drafted during former President Barack Obama’s term to take out all references to climate change.
The internal Defence Department report was originally issued in December 2016 but remained unpublished, the Washington Post reported after obtaining a copy. A final version was presented to Congress in January 2018 without the draft’s 23 references to “climate change,†leaving just one mention of the phrase.
