If we do not take action now, across our installations, acquisition and logistics, and training, our options to mitigate these risks will become more constrained with each passing year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report claims that armed conflict will increase as temperatures rise and people compete for resources.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe risk will rise even more where climate effects compound social instability, reduce access to basic necessities, undermine fragile governments and economies, damage vital infrastructure and lower agricultural production,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n<p>The Army plan also <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/us-army-releases-plan-to-address-climate-change-194643335.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall\">calls<\/a> for \u201cgreening\u201d Army operations, according to a Yahoo News report:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Part of the Army plan includes making all military installations more self-sufficient in terms of energy and water needs, but it also calls for a sweeping transformation to sources of clean energy, switching to an all-electric fleet of noncombat vehicles by 2035 and for the development of electric combat vehicles by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>A list of \u201cimmediate objectives\u201d contained in the report lists priorities such as providing \u201c100 percent carbon-pollution-free electricity for Army installations\u2019 needs by 2030,\u201d and achieving a \u201c50 percent reduction in [greenhouse gas] emissions from all Army buildings by 2032.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Army\u2019s new report comes on the heels of the October release of the <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2021\/Oct\/21\/2002877353\/-1\/-1\/0\/DOD-CLIMATE-RISK-ANALYSIS-FINAL.PDF\">Department of Defense Climate Risk Analysis<\/a>. In the foreword to that report, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called climate change an \u201cexistential threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cClimate change touches most of what this department does, and this threat will continue to have worsening implications for U.S. national security,\u201d Austin wrote.<\/p>\n<p>But some Republicans think the plan is another left-wing social experiment using the men and women tasked with protecting Americans from real threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, the Biden administration used troops as critical race theory lab rats,\u201d Sen.
