From GovernmentExecutive.com:
“The Defense authorization bill approved by the Senate this week would require the Pentagon to consider the effects of climate change on military capabilities, facilities and missions.
“The House version of the bill (H.R. 1585) contains similar language, which means the provision likely will become law.
“The measure requires military planners to assess the risks of projected climate change on current and future missions, update defense plans based on those assessments and develop the capabilities needed to reduce future impacts…” Climate change is, indeed, becoming a security issue…
