The U.S. is extremely short-sighted where the environment is concerned. Environmental disasters will increase to catastrophic levels. Climate refugees will be on the move in an attempt to find a safe haven. Fema being refunded wil result in continued trama for the American people.

Do you mean FEMA being defunded? NOAA and the EPA are also being defunded.

Ironically, the Pentagon planners have been aware of the possible consequences of climate change and environmental destruction since at least the 1960s. The planners strive to ensure that the armed forces personnel and equipment can function effectively in any anticipated environments. They understand the need for transitioning to clean energy. They know that plastics pollution in the oceans interferes with naval navigation systems.
