Air Force outlines plan to face ‘acute challenges’ of climate change
« on: Wednesday, Oct 12, 2022 04:10 pm »
American Military News by Justin Cooper  October 12, 2022

The Department of the Air Force outlined a plan to maintain its strength amid a changing climate, which the department said is posing “acute challenges” to its dominance.

The department’s Climate Action Plan, released last week, calls for “climate-ready and resilient” installations, cultivating climate-aware personnel, transitioning to climate-friendly fuel sources and developing “ultra-fuel-efficient aircraft designs.”

While noting that the department remains focused on modernization and keeping pace with China, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall said climate change is an important priority.

Yep. Losing the big battle with a fallacy.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

What ever challenges might exist are self imposed by fear-induced mass hysteria. I think the left likes living in a state of angst—abortion, climate, police racism, the wrong pronouns! The left is a bloody mess.

If you made a plane out of balsa wood as big as the Spruce Goose, maybe, just maybe, you might be able to get the tons of batteries needed to power it airborne. The battery bank would weigh more than the airplane.
