JUST IN: Defense Science Board Urges Pentagon to Prepare for Climate Change
9/5/2024
By Allyson Park   
 

The Defense Science Board in a recently released study recommended that the Pentagon anticipate global crises and potential conflicts caused by climate change and prioritize investments in new systems and technologies to mitigate the trend.

Climate change has emerged as one of the most concerning and pressing challenges in modern times and poses severe challenges for both national and global security, the year-old "2023 Defense Science Board Summer Study on Climate Change and Global Security" released Sept. 2 stated. Stresses due to climate change affect how the department operates and how it should look to strengthen strategic deterrence and prepare for potential conflict, the report added.

“The global impacts of climate change and the failure of current diplomatic approaches to mitigate its effects mean that time is of the essence for the DoD to prepare to operate in a climate-changed environment,” the study stated.

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
