U.S. military exits climate change after wasteful decade – ‘Dept of Defense does not do climate change crap’ ANYMORE!
https://www.cfact.org/2025/04/03/u-s-military-exits-climate-change-after-wasteful-decade/ By Steve Goreham Military climate policies under the Biden Administration, even if fully implemented, would not have had a measurable effect on global temperatures. But they would continue to waste hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money. Secretary Hegseth will put these funds to better use to strengthen the US military. The United […]
‘Climate change may make it harder to spot submarines,’ new NATO study finds – Claim ‘warmer oceans alter how sound travels underwater’
Last week, scholars Andrea Gilli and Mauro Gilli released a NATO Defense College paper on the impacts of climate change on submarine warfare. The former is a senior lecturer and NDC senior non-resident associate fellow, while the latter is a senior researcher in military technology and international security at ETH Zürich.
Their research compared historical values on water temperature and salinity from 1970 to 1999 and simulated future values for 2070 to 2099. The report’s authors concluded that “in most areas, the range at which submarines can be detected is shrinking.”

Can U.S. survive without military climate spending?! CNN: ‘Officials & experts warn that Pentagon plans to cut climate programs will hurt national security’ – Sec. Hegseth: ‘The Dept of Defense does not do climate change crap’
Sec. of Pentagon Pete Hegseth responds to CNN: “The Dept of Defense does not do climate change crap. We do training and warfighting.”

(CNN) As the Pentagon and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency set their sights on climate-related programs at the Defense Department, officials and experts are warning that slashing them could put US troops and military operations at risk, both in the near and long term. …
Dr. Ravi Chaudhary, former assistant secretary of the Air Force for energy, installations and environment, told CNN that climate programs are not just important to giving the US military an edge on adversaries like China, but they also help keep service members and their families safe. …
“Inaction at this point will put our readiness and the lives of our troops and their families at greater risk,” he said. …
Outside of protecting US military installations and personnel, sources also warned that ignoring climate issues could damage the US’ national security interests abroad. ….
“If we say, ‘Hey, we’re not interested in climate change,’ our adversaries or near peer competitors – whatever you want to call them – are more than happy to slide into [partners’ and allies’] DMs and offer funding at our detriment,” the Senate aide said.
Villalón told CNN last week that multiple other climate-related research initiatives had their funding cut off. A Defense Department news release Friday afternoon said the Pentagon was “scrapping its social science research portfolio,” including research focused on “global migration patterns, climate change impacts, and social trends.” The release said the Defense Department expects to save “more than $30 million in the first year through the discontinuation of 91 studies.”

Listen: Morano speculates to Joe Piscopo on working for Trump Pentagon for two weeks in ‘the shortest-lived federal job in US history’ to ‘close down every climate office & every climate directive & stop the funding’
Morano: “I would love to have the shortest-lived federal job in US history. I would love to go work at the Pentagon. Give me two weeks. I want to close down every climate office and every climate directive and stop the funding of it all. And after two weeks, I retire and say my work is done, and I’ll walk away. That’s what I would like to do because Hegseth is making that one of his missions: shut all this climate nonsense down.”
Piscopo: “Yeah, it’s so true. I say to our producer, get Vivek on the phone, get, Elon, the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). Bring Marc Morano down to DOGE baby. We’re ready.”
