Faced with volatile situations and violent conflicts around the world, the U.S. Department of Defense under the Biden-Harris administration is focusing its resources on global warming and environmental protection. The decision to direct military resources toward environmentalist priorities, such as species conservation and electric vehicles, seems to be coming not from soldiers but from partisan Democrats masquerading as bureaucrats.

“The Department of Defense now sees combating climate change as central to its mission,” said Sherri Goodman — the former deputy undersecretary of defense for environmental security and the current secretary-general of the International Military Council on Climate and Security — in a podcast with Columbia University in which she promoted her new book. Goodman has helped develop Democratic administrations’ emissions-reduction plans to meet the military’s “clean-energy targets.” She was listed as a major endorser of Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
