Is the ocean broken?

Retired general: Climate change is a threat to national security, military readiness

Climate change is a continuing threat to national security both at home and abroad, according to Stephen Cheney, a retired brigadier general who is now president of the American Security Project.

“Climate change really impacts military training readiness in Arizona because extreme heat is going to limit the amount of time a person can spend outside,” Cheney said.

If a black flag is flying over any of these that usually indicates all physical training and strenuous exercise is suspended. Across the Air Force, Army and Marines, the flag flies when temperature hits 90 degrees and above. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base recognized its first black flag day this summer on July 8. There have been 16 others since, according to Master Sgt. Kate Grady.

“Extreme heat means in some cases it’ll be too hot to fly,” Cheney said. “Heat creates thinner air, which won’t have enough density for planes to take off.”

 

That may well be true that heat negatively affects our fighting ability but it is conjecture at best to attribute anthropogenic contributions to it.

 

Hurricanes and dust storms also factor into the state of military preparedness but just like heat waves, they are weather, not climate.
Climate change exists but stop blaming mankind for it.

Do NOT mess with these tough people. • r/iamverybadass https://old.reddit.com/r/iamverybadass/

No they didn't scrape a killing field on the border. You are having a Rambo fantasy episode.

It probably has to do with Canada's free healthcare allowing everybody to avoid medical bankruptcy and stay healthy enough to fight fires, whereas we have to use the worlds largest prison population to fight our fires. Freely available weed might have something to do with it, or maybe they rake their wilderness better than we do. Of course, we Americans also apparently have problems going outside when the temperature is over 90 degrees.

Actually though, they do have fires, but since we don't get news of Canada in the US, you have to look for it. Basically, they've had more rain to where their forests aren't as dry as ours, and temperatures are not setting record highs as they are here. It has to do with AGW.

 

Perhaps.

 

Probably in the other thread that was trolled to closure. Yobarnacle's the culprit, let's ask him.

Hey yorambo, didn't you say the worlds fisheries are not in danger? Everything is hunky dory?

 

Washington gets a lot of rain too.
Southern Saskatchewan and northern Washington showed similar temperatures on the fire map I previously posted in post #464.

It starts at #3843.
At #3855,

At #3874 I showed where wild fish stocks are actually declining.
Eventually I post

No denials were made.

I have since posted numerous articles showing the ocean is being plundered and worldwide commercial fishing is largely unregulated. Regulations may exist but they are ignored and rarely enforced.

Quite a contrast to the way they are "cleaning up" on the professionals that somehow let the Golden Ray fall over in our sound a year ago. Carefully being dissected, and recycled, this is what it looks like today, 1 year later...




Here's the Japanese ship the Wakashio, after severely damaging the economy and environment of Mauritius less than a month before, being towed away in the dark of night, still leaking oil, to be dumped in the open ocean at a secret site.

 

Note to self: Don't get fish from Mauritius.

 

SamSam, in your zeal to get your message about saving the ocean across, you are finding demons where there are none. While I and Yo remarked on the fallacy of your statement about lower catch counts as proof that the world's fisheries are in danger, neither he nor I denied their distressing condition.

We were just remarking that the regulatory conditions under which the beginning count and the end counts were taken were different enough that it could be successfully argued that that could account for the lower quotas met.

I don't think even Yo believes nothing is wrong with the fishing industry not its fisheries.

And where is all that arsenic coming from?

So, is 5 times the normal level bad?

See how the fires are next to roads? They were set.
