"...certain types
of weather events
have become more frequent and/or
intense, including heat waves, heavy
downpours, and, in
some regions, floods
and droughts. Sea levels
are rising, oceans
are becoming more
acidic, and glaciers
and arctic sea
ice are melting.
Scientists predict that
these changes will continue and
even increase in
frequency or duration over
the next 100
years. These climate related effects
are already being
observed at installations
throughout the U.S.
and overseas and
affect many of
the Department’s activities
and decisions related
to future operating
environments, military readiness,
stationing, environmental compliance
and stewardship, and
infrastructure planning and
maintenance.”
