US Navy increasingly factoring climate change into exercises

By Colin Demarest
 Wednesday, Sep 7


WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of the Navy will study the effect of climate change more frequently to better understand the impact that worsening weather and conditions are having on force effectiveness.

“Yes to more exercises,” Meredith Berger, the assistant secretary of the Navy for energy, installations and environment, said Sept. 7 at the annual Defense News Conference. “It was fruitful time that we spent together, and looking forward to learning more from it, for sure.”


The Navy this summer hosted a first-of-its-kind “tabletop” climate exercise, in which leaders gather to discuss emergency scenarios, at Marine Barracks Washington to test elements of its Climate Action 2030 plan.

The scenario focused on an amphibious exercise with a partner in the Indo-Pacific, which is ultimately hit by a typhoon, according to a Navy summary of the event.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

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.

C S Lewis
