Climate Change Report

[Methais]

So you are saying the Pentagon has a plan to stop global Warming and fix the problem???!!!??? Wow, that's fucking amazing. What is it?

They're going to shoot it, duh.

[Back]

At least the military's not denying climate change. Too bad the political chickenhawks don't follow their lead.

Not the sacred fallback of the Republican party? They've been corrupted by the liberal scientists!

How come you're so wrong all the time? Doesn't that ever bother you?

Explain how he's wrong and you are right in your assumption... because I believe reality is closer towards Jarvan in this case.

[Thondalar]

Yeah.. cause you know.. the Pentagon is the epitome of straight forwardness and honesty.

I mean.. they wouldn't spend tens of billions on a project NO ONE wants, would they? Not to mention the fact that most of the people that get to decide if we SHOULD build a specific weapon or platform, end up working for the people that get the contracts... no.. no corruption there.

It's the military-industrial complex our Fathers warned us about. Were those guys good or what?

I'm not going to say they aren't above reproach or that the revolving door policy isn't an issue, because it is. But it isn't the Pentagon that has the final word on what gets funded and what doesn't. There are a number of recent cases where the Pentagon has informed congress that it doesn't need something but congress goes ahead with it anyways, because hey, that's more money and votes for them.

This is an organization that has a Plan in case yellow Stone Erupts. They likely have a plan somewhere in case Mexico invades us and Squid people rise out of the Ocean to wage war on us.

The pentagon having a plan in case of Global Warming doesn't mean much.

You fucking asshole, you're not supposed to talk about the Squidwards!!

If I recall correctly the reason they decided to keep the Bradley was because of the sequestration. It would have been cheaper to upgrade that than to continue working on a replacement.

You're an idiot. They're not planning for it in some thought experiment war-games type of way. They are actively dealing with it and the changes that the globe is experiencing because of it now. What you missed from the article is that this isn't a theoretical "what-if" for the USN. It's real, it's happening and they are adjusting missions and preparedness accordingly.
