Repub leaders in Congress are recommending that the DoD cut $377.35 million worth of climate change initiatives. For perspective, that's .05% of the defense budget.

More performative BS to appease Dear Leader.

These things are tactical and logistical issues, not just ideological. The military has to behave as if Climate Change is real because it affects actual operations.

Stupidity at full gallop.

Oust each and every GOP. Recalls and new elections should start now.

So the US will just vacate all those low-lying Navy bases we paid so many billions to develop?

The DOD identified climate change as a significant risk to readiness/response more than a decade ago.

In a recent post on X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote, “The @DeptofDefense does not do climate change crap. We do training and warfighting.”

I'm not sure if any Defense Secretary ever said anything remotely more ignorant.

A lot of this money is for R&D work on hybrid vehicles that would potentially reduce operating costs and make some combat vehicles harder to detect on the battlefield. Just mindless Republican bullshit.

Such a stupid and evil administration.

Cutting climate change initiatives: given our weather patterns changing and the devastation that occurs, that is going to save us money - HOW????

bambooshooti.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's not. It will cost a fortune, even short term.

WTF is wrong with the GOP? You only hear from them when they have passed another dreadful law! They should never ever have power again 🤬

Another step downward into darkness.

How could they do that? This initiative alone has too many forbidden words in it.

Not only that…Most of DoD’s climate change work directly supported its core mission of defending the United States.

They want the US to fail. Vote all of them out of office and prevent them from stealing another election.

“Performative BS” couldn’t be anymore accurate 🎯

These "climate initiatives" are forward planning and future proofing that save lives, equipement, and billions in USD almost yearly. Prepare for the worst case scenario, like climate change is worse than even the scientists are predicting, and you save money even when it isn't.

Okay, where tf did that E come from? Either way, Trump is costing the DOD preparedness for the future, and national security with it.

But he wants a military parade which will cost tens of millions, so there’s that…

Are they stupid? It's a bit more important and urgent for branches of the military that have to navigate the ocean and needs to know when to make adjustments to prevent potential catastrophes. We travel above and below the ocean. Climate change studies are fucking important to the military.

According to the brilliant journalist Gwynne Dyer, it was the American military that first brought the term climate change to his attention in like 2008. Cause they recognize they would have to deal with it!
