Wonderful to be back at @CNASdc to talk about why the Army is taking action to address #climatechange & how our efforts serve the mission. Thanks to @klkuzminski for moderating a timely discussion.
The effects of climate change on the services are profound, @wmrogers and @HopeSeck join @klkuzminski to discuss these impacts and more. #CNAS2022 teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1djxXljwO…

The #ArmyClimate Strategy & Implementation Plan will feature prominently next Wednesday at the annual AUSA meeting in Washington. Learn more about the program & where you can live stream the discussion: army.mil/article/260641/army…. @ASArmyIEE @ArmyASAALT
The Implementation Plan is a five-year roadmap that assigns specific responsibilities for actions, and describes the tasks and resources to carry out the #ArmyClimate Strategy, even as the Army continues to move toward its mid-century goals in the strategy. (2/3)

This is a great day for climate action! There's much to do, but for the first time in a while we've got the wind at our back thanks to the President's leadership and the work of so many across government, in the scientific community, and practitioners in the field. Onward!
The climate provisions I sign into law today are a big deal. Let me explain why:

Good 🧵 with thoughts on what #RussiaUkraineConflict may mean for the #Arctic 👇
Thinking more about potential #Arctic #diplomacy and #governance consequences of #RussiaUkraineConflict after @HighNorthNews reached out. What do others think? Saddened and worried early thoughts thread. @klausdodds @BuchananLiz @IngridAgnete @Marisol_Maddox

About this time last year, Texans were shivering without power during one of the coldest spells in the central United States. Now a study shows blackouts can be avoided with 100% renewable energy, debunking notions that renewable energy is unreliable. wapo.st/3JDx771

Climate change threatens our national security. We have a unique opportunity to improve our defense capabilities & become a more efficient force while securing a better future. I challenge our @USArmy to examine climate threats, prioritize resources, & take swift action.

As one of the largest electricity users in the US, @DeptofDefense can lead the way in transitioning to carbon-free electricity. It’s not just critical to addressing #climate change, but also nat'l security as we work to secure US competitiveness in global energy markets. @USGSA

2021 was another dark red stripe (but not the darkest red). The warmest 7 years on record are the last 7 years. Global temperatures from 1850-2021 #ShowYourStripes
