Is the Army’s New Climate Strategy Economically Feasible?

Payne Institute and Mines Advanced Energy Systems student Jeffrey A. Ginther writes about how as climate change affects weather patterns and triggers extreme weather events around the world, the United States Army has responded to provide stability to unstable regions as well as humanitarian and disaster relief operations. As one of the world’s largest emitters, the U.S. Army is part of the cause for these events. That is partly why the U.S. Army has sought to decrease emissions through the development of the Army Climate Strategy. This paper discusses the objectives and possible methods of the Army Climate Strategy to determine if the new strategy to defeat climate change is feasible or just a gimmick to draw the world’s attention away from such a major emitter.  May 19, 2022.
