  • As the Pentagon and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency set their sights on climate-related programs at the Defense Department, officials and experts are warning that slashing them could put US troops and military operations at risk,

The article from MSN discusses concerns raised by officials and experts regarding the Pentagon's decision to cut climate-related programs, which they argue could compromise national security. The Pentagon's proposed budget cuts include reducing funding for initiatives aimed at addressing climate change, such as energy efficiency, renewable energy projects, and resilience against climate impacts. Critics, including former military leaders and environmental advocates, warn that these reductions could undermine military readiness and operational capabilities, especially as climate change exacerbates issues like extreme weather events, sea level rise, and resource scarcity, all of which pose direct threats to military bases and operations worldwide. They emphasize that ignoring climate change not only jeopardizes the environment but also the strategic and tactical effectiveness of the U.S. military, potentially leaving it less prepared for future conflicts influenced by environmental factors.
