Pentagon just unclassified its Climate report to the National Security Council.

Department of Defense wants you to know climate change is a "threat multiplier". What are all our poor bases in shithole countries going to do?

US defense technocrats will now include Climate in prioritizing threats; in strategies for countering threats; in planning missions of the armed forces; in what weapons to develop and five-year plan for investments that support strategy #GeopoliticsOfGHGs

gotta love the big nerd brain energy in Pentagon planners.

Guys guys this climate change thing that our scientists are telling us about for 50 years? What if, like, its too hot for planes to take off or, get this, wildfire smoke makes bombing harder?

2/“You wouldn’t always know it, but it went up every year I was president. That whole, suddenly America’s like the biggest oil producer & the biggest gas — that was me, people"-@BarackObama

Energy Independence/Dominance is a hell of a drug in both US (green line) & Russia (blue) Image
3/ Biden's infrastructure bill is now ~$2 Trillion over 10 years. Sounds like a lot right? $200 billion each year. But just about $30B each year is for Climate

US spends ~$750B p.a on the military,25 TIMES more than all climate programs #GeopoliticsOfGHGs Image

US Power Sector emissions alone "exceeds GHG emissions of all but seven countries". US is the largest oil & gas producer on the planet.

Fight in US Congress is a big deal. If Biden can't do it with legislation, he will face opposition on regulations from GOP dominated courts
The N American oil complex has raised ~$1000 Billion from banks & pension funds to frack oil & gas over next 5 yrs.

At UN's #COP26, developing countries haggle over a symbolic $100 Billion from rich countries for climate wri.org/blog/2018/11/n…
Useful to zoom out. What makes climate action hard in the US?
1 It became the worlds LARGEST producer of Oil & Gas over last decade.
2. The Oil & Gas industry employs 10 million people across a dozen states that are overrepresented in Senate

Will Coal stop? In eyeopening research @kellysgallagher et al found (1)domestic interests in countries push Coal (2)that 87% of coal finance is non-🇨🇳estatements.unmeetings.org/estatements/10… Image
72/ EU's Hydrogen strategy was to build 6GW of renewable hydrogen electrolyses by 2024.

China's response? Go big or Go Home! 100 GW! Its manufacturing economies of scale that gave rest of the world cheap solar and cheap batteries, now applied to Hydrogen rechargenews.com/energy-transit…
73/ Look around you. Everything you can kick & touch is made by burning carbon. All the machines we use to move,heat,cool,melt burn carbon. It hasn't sunk in everywhere, but Beijing gets that gains from redoing the Industrial Revolution *all over again*

36/ "Since Trump's trade war, there has been a total increase of about $200 billion in tariffs from China. For e-commerce companies, this means direct China-US trade has become too expensive. The solution? Mexico."
ht Spencer Potiker @CharmaineSChua
37/ Beijing is popping China’s $52 Trillion property bubble that caused:
underinvestment in industry (crowding out effect)
decline in R&D (talent going to RE)
low consumer spending (tightening belts to save for pricier houses)
low growth (fewer babies)
