Oh, is this why Surrender Joe left the Taliban all that military equipment? Besides, why would we need the equipment when our military is going Woke?
Climate Change Could Make ‘Military Equipment Useless,’ Experts Warn
Leaders from defense institutes across the world converged in Seoul this week to raise the alarm on military threats posed by “irreversible and abrupt climate change.”
Global temperatures are expected to reach or surpass a warming threshold of 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit in the next 20 years, United Nations climate change experts reported in August, “unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse emissions.”
The global temperature went up 1.5F since 1850, and it’s going to go up at least 1.2F in 20 years? What happens if it doesn’t? Who do we hold responsible for this fear-mongering? Will any of the “scientists” resign over their failures? How about people at the U.N.? And the outlets like Military.com, which have gone climate cult?
Panelists from the United States, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, India and Bangladesh gave their assessment of these threats during a three-day seminar hosted by South Korea’s Ministry of Defense.
Tom Middendorp, Netherlands’ former chief of defense and chairman of the International Military Council on Climate and Security, warned Wednesday that nations had “a responsibility to prepare” for the implications of climate change.
“I cannot remember any other conflict in my military experience where we had this level of scientific foresight,” he said during the virtual portion of the seminar. “We know what’s coming to us.”
Interesting. North Korea is right there, as is China and Russia. No concerns? Also, they used a lot of fossil fuels for the trip, eh?
Severe heat patterns are also already having a direct impact on military equipment, according to Shafqat Munir, head of the Bangladesh Center for Terrorism Research.
Troops stationed in Mali as part of a United Nations’ peacekeeping force have been unable to use their communication devices until the evening, when the temperature cools off, Munir told the panelists.
Is this a joke? Did they buy crappy equipment? Mali’s high temperature forecast for the next 7 days is mid 80’s to low 90’s. My smartphone works just fine here in NC, where it gets pretty hot.
“Excessive heat is going to render military equipment useless,” Munir said. “We’re already seeing some of that in action.”
I’m so old I remember when milspec was not a synonym for defective.
Maybe an order to Amazon for some up to date comm equipment is due.
My 7+ y.o. flip phone is working just fine here on the Gulf Coast where we’ve been having some mild 90+ degree with 60+% humidity days lately. It still works when it gets hot and humid, and it worked in MN at -25, as well.
