Defense Dept. Issues Climate Change Warning

Views: 535
DoD makes it clear, up front, (in it's 14 page report)
. . . that the Senate is getting Spark Notes this time around,
. . . because the issue of national security, and climate change,
. . . has already been addressed, numerous times,
. . . by higher-ups in the Armed Services, and
. . . DoD has already developed a roadmap for climate change adaptation.

DoD recognizes the reality of climate change, and
. . .  the significant risk it pose s to U.S. interests globally.
. . . The National Security Strategy, issued in February 2015,
. . . is clear that climate change is an urgent, and
. . . growing threat to our national security,
. . . contributing to increased:
. . . . . . Natural disasters,
. . . . . . Refugee flows, and
. . . . . . Conflicts over basic resources, such as food and water.

They even put a price tag on it:
. . . . . . $400 per gallon to ship fuel into war zones, and
. . . . . . priceless lives lost guarding fuel convoys.
