WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will begin incorporating climate analysis into its war-gaming and analysis efforts as well as featuring the issue as part of its future National Defense Strategy. 

The announcement by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin came shortly after President Joe Biden signed a series of executive orders targeting the climate crisis. 

The Defense Department “will immediately take appropriate policy actions to prioritize climate change considerations in our activities and risk assessments, to mitigate this driver of insecurity. 

As directed by the President, we will include the security implications of climate change in our risk analyses, strategy development, and planning guidance,” Austin said in a statement. 


WNU Editor: I can assure you that the military in countries like Russia and China do not view climate change as a national security issue.

ChinaJoe got 10’s of millions from Chinese and other foreign entities based upon his sons emails. Facts.
It’s plausible this DOD reflects treason in the Oval Office. Defense Sec Austin compiled a gold plated Swamp Lobbyist record after retiring from the Army. He isn’t the guy to stand tall, he does what ChinaJoe wants. ChinaJoe does who else tells him to do?
