I doubt the Conservatives were exactly pushing for Women in Submarines or Gays anywhere in the military either. Ever since Tailhook it is clear that the Top Brass have been cowed by threats from the Politically Correct.

Big deal.

Is it really so hard to find a picture of rolling black smoke that is actually the problem instead of harmless STEAM coming off of COOLING TOWERS? A bad argument is worse than no argument, please stop making us look stupid.

I welcome the Pentagon into the Circle of Climate Conspirators with open arms. Watch out, deniers, we’ve got a bigger budget now!

All that’s mentioned here is “climate change”, and everyone know’s that that’s happening and that it always will (and always has).

Man-made climate change is a different subject.

More to the point, reading between the lines this sounds like the normal drive by defence industries to find ways round vulnerabilities and costs (in this case the need to have fuel and the cost of buying, transporting and securing it). Although this is badged under the banner of climate change (rather oddly I’d have thought – it opens up another possible front in the war over this in congressional defence subcommittees), I doubt there is anything in all of the muddled beauracratese cited above that is actually anything other than finding alternative ways to provide fuel. If they were serious about the environment, I doubt biofuels would be being pushed so heavily…

Personally I reckon we should take advantage of the fact the rebellious colonists have taken their eye of the ball where defence is concerned and reassert our sovereignity by force…

…what do you mean colonial ventures are not popular on this site?

Well, Strategist, leaving aside the fact that “Abusive, sarcastic or silly comments may be deleted”, I would put more trust in your version of peer review than I would the one engineered by warmists.

@3 yes Hannibal, a statistically significant sample of your peers confirm that you are pig ignorant.

@4 “They have no credibility”

Remarkably short sighted attitude. The US’s defense budget is as big as all others defense budgets combined: They do not fuck about too much.

And it wasn’t the “Defence Department” it was people in the Bush administration and some people in the Defense Department, it’s a lot more complicated than that.

Since when has anything the defence department warned us about ever been truthful or correct? Wasn’t it the Defence department that talked us into invading Iraq? They have no credibility.

That’s “peer reviewed” is it, Strategist?

What is terrible is that the Pentagon, like everyone else, is preparing to adapt to a century of climate destabilisation, resource wars, refugee chaos – rather than working to do something to prevent climate change getting worse.

Looking back on this era, our kids will be horrified at us for this.

Looking back at the first months of 2010, the re-emergence of the idea that climate change is not happening at all, thanks to a PR campaign led by a load of neo-con crooks and their pig ignorant band of internet followers will be viewed with incredulity. We need to empathise a little less and condemn a little more.
