We’re saved! U.S. Army sets 2050 net-zero emissions goal – ‘The time to address climate change is now’
Christine E. Wormuth Secretary of the Army: “The time to address climate change is now. … I challenge our Army to examine climate threats, prioritize resources, and take swift action.”
Politico: “The strategy also set milestones for electrifying its vehicle fleet. It would go all-electric for light-duty non-tactical vehicles by 2027 and across all non-tactical vehicles by 2035…The U.S. Army outlined a climate change strategy Tuesday that included halving greenhouse gas emissions compared with 2005 levels this decade, greening its vehicle fleet, running on carbon-free power and ultimately hitting net-zero emissions by 2050. The Army’s strategy comes after President Joe Biden’s December executive order exempted the military from the federal government’s 2050 net-zero commitments.”
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin: “We face all kinds of threats in our line of work, but few of them truly deserve to be called existential. The climate crisis does. … Climate change is making the world more unsafe and we need to act.”
