During the Cold War, the US poured support into Arctic military outposts and climate research amid fears of a Russian invasion. Climate change is still on the military’s radar as a threat multiplier.
Yet the US military is one of the single largest polluters on the planet. Yes they spearhead a lot of climate research, but then there are departments that will throw away $100m like I throw away a nickel. The amount of greenhouse gases produced by them in a single year is more than you or I or anyone you see or know will produce in a whole lifetime combined.
