The Defense Department wants to know what service members know about climate change, how climate is affecting their jobs and where they get information about climate change.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responds on "Jesse Watters Primetime" to President Biden's diversity officer's comments. is asking thousands of active-duty service members and civilian DOD workers if they have enough information on climate change to do their jobs effectively and requesting to know where they get their climate news.," according to a copy of the questionnaire reviewed by Fox News Digital.
"As we train and educate our service members to fight and prevail against our adversaries, so too must we ensure our service members have the knowledge to ensure mission success in the face of a changing climate," Cmdr. Nicole Schwegman, a Pentagon spokesperson, told Fox News Digital in statement. The Pentagon declined to say how many service members received the questionnaire.
"The Department of Defense should not be wasting our service members’ time with surveys on climate change," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital."The military should not be distracted from its mission of maintaining the most lethal and capable force in the world." It then asked several detailed questions about the source of their climate change information. It asked if they have the"right amount of knowledge/information on climate change" needed to perform their jobs, and it then asked where they go to learn more.

Scientists’ warning of the impacts of climate change on mountainsMountains are highly diverse in areal extent, geological and climatic context, ecosystems and human activity. As such, mountain environments worldwide are particularly sensitive to the effects of anthropogenic climate change (global warming) as a result of their unique heat balance properties and the presence of climatically-sensitive snow, ice, permafrost and ecosystems. Consequently, mountain systems—in particular cryospheric ones—are currently undergoing unprecedented changes in the Anthropocene. This study identifies and discusses four of the major properties of mountains upon which anthropogenic climate change can impact, and indeed is already doing so. These properties are: the changing mountain cryosphere of glaciers and permafrost; mountain hazards and risk; mountain ecosystems and their services; and mountain communities and infrastructure. It is notable that changes in these different mountain properties do not follow a predictable trajectory of evolution in response to anthropogenic climate change. This demonstrates that different elements of mountain systems exhibit different sensitivities to forcing. The interconnections between these different properties highlight that mountains should be considered as integrated biophysical systems, of which human activity is part. Interrelationships between these mountain properties are discussed through a model of mountain socio-biophysical systems, which provides a framework for examining climate impacts and vulnerabilities. Managing the risks associated with ongoing climate change in mountains requires an integrated approach to climate change impacts monitoring and management.
