Climate Change Presents: Heat Cat 40,000

Well, it was bound to happen at some point. The US military has bases primarily in the South, and primarily in parts of the world in which climate change poses a huge risk. So, what is the US military doing about it? If you guessed ‘killing more soldiers in training via heatstroke,’ you’re right on the money.

Thanks to a fan of the show, we had a chance to read this in-depth piece from Inside Climate News on the topic of heat deaths, the military’s obligation to both assess risks and (politically speaking) not seem as though they’re opposing Trump’s climate denial, and much more: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23072019/military-heat-death-illness-climate-change-risk-security-global-warming-benning-bragg-chaffee?fbclid=IwAR1CfQwRxg4sX4pc0gud7gZa28tTXEZXySplP9sewnaZVblCluJVT7T4Gdw
