The US Navy quietly shuttered a task force created under former President Barack Obama to prepare the military branch for the impact of global warming, reportedly saying the team was “no longer needed”. Its ending, which happened in March and was first reported on Tuesday by the environmental site E&E News, reflects a trend under Donald Trump in which federal agencies have shuttered operations designed to combat climate change nationwide and around the world. Before the president seemingly fired former Defence Secretary Jim Mattis, the career military official wrote in 2017 to the Senate Armed Services Committee: “Climate change is impacting stability

The military should be researching how to most efficiently kill people and break things and that's it.

Wait a minute. Why in the hell was the Navy involved with the climate change crap? Oh wait, what am I questioning, Obungler had NASA doing Muslim outreach, so this figures.

Climate change serenity prayer. Algore, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the climate, the wisdom to change the things I can which is my thinking and the wisdom to know the difference.

The article is headed by a video blaming mass migration from a village in honduras on global warming. Inside the click bait, the article blames depressed global coffee prices, blight, and reduced rainfall. But wet places, like honduras, are supposed to be wetter with global warming..and wetter weather is a principal cause of the coffee bean rust, as is the monoculture. Lower prices are due to mass production of lower quality beans. So...it is not global warming, contrary to the headline

While working on a Navy base over the past few years, I observed the installation of twenty electric vehicle charging stations with no vehicles ever plugged in. At our building, there was a large row of parking places with signs "This space reserved for high-efficiency, low-emission vehicles" - the signs were ignored by the employees, who parked pickups and SUVs in a major showing of defiance and common sense.

The Navy would not need this task force even if global warming did exist. They are in boats for Pete's sake. Only a numnutz like Barack Obama would do something this loony.

The Navy was wasting money pursuing expensive biofuels. Am glad that this insane set of policies has been rescinded.

Doesn't global warming mean more water for the ships to sail in?

No the USN can get back to training to kill people and break things, not wasting time and money on stupid, leftist political games.

Has NASA's Muslim Outreach program been cut yet? Another beauty from the Obama regime along with TPP, the Paris climate accord, Obamacare, Fast & Furious, Holder, Lynch, Brennan, and on and on and on...

Our Navy has long been a player in CO2 reduction with a nuclear powered aircraft carrier and submarine fleet which has saved billions of tons in emissions. Funny how libs missed this one.

Barry and his Destroy America party shrunk the military down to pre-WWII capability, then shrunk it further by dictating much of the remaining money be allocated to their global warming BS. If you read any military bill, there's plenty of little carve-outs for their favorite "I like to waste taxpayer money on everything except for what the Pentagon money is for". Barry's buying a $15M ocean front property certainly puts the lie to their global warming BS. Gorebot must be blue and passed out on the floor.
