Why is the DoD focused on fighting climate change?

Given the state of affairs in Ukraine and the Middle East and the rise of China as a chief U.S. adversary, one would assume that the Department of Defense has its hands full combating real threats to U.S. national security. One would also assume that under the fraught geopolitics of the current world, the Department of Defense (DoD) would be harnessing its precious resources toward identifying future menaces that literally pose an existential threat to the security of the United States.

Climate change does not constitute a current threat to U.S. national security. However, the leaders of the DoD think otherwise. In fact, the DoD believes that the climate crisis is a “national security priority.”

On December 11, the DoD announced it is very concerned with climate change in Africa because “climate-stressed areas are a recruiting opportunity for terrorist groups.” Accordingly, the DoD declared, “The consequences of inaction on climate will be severe, and our allies and partners will face growing security challenges as a result.”

Tragically, this is only the latest example of the DoD being sidetracked fighting climate change.

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

The Climate Scam has been the scientific point of the spear for the Woke left.  So much data has been falsified, and ignoring of natural climate cycles, that general public is now getting more and more suspicious.  And when you see the face of this scam (Goofy Greta) leading Palestine rallies?  Not hard to discern the line between sound science and faux induced ideology.

What is most sad, is the thought of how much time and capital has been wasted on this folly.

Because no matter what happens, no matter the results, they can blame some one/thing else for their lack of progress, and claim they need more money to throw at it.

Weapons systems, force structures, training, all are supposed to produce a result that can be evaluated for efficacy and function. Gee whiz, that's hard, and evaluation of those in times of crisis is unforgiving. No grading on a curve, no do-overs, it works or it doesn't and people can be held accountable for the results and the spending that produced them.

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 a crock of shi+.  National Security priority for DOD?  Just another money black hole.
