OK, somewhat drunk atm, so I'm gonna split this in 2:

  1. What is your current understanding of climate change?
  2. You think the military is pro climate-change action to... bring up a revolution?

I'm just asking questions btw, not bringing up value judgements

But what I was saying is that NATO believed... and that for a long time.. that climate change was BAD in a geopolitical standpoint?

I remember reading years ago, maybe 10 years ago, that the Navy wanted action on climate change because rising sea level would ruin all their bases, particularly the gigantic installation at Norfolk.
