Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Delivers a Savage Response to Pentagon Officials and ‘Experts’ Whining that Cutting ‘Climate Change’ Programs Will Harm National Security

The shift from Lloyd Austin to Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary has proven to be one of the biggest upgrades in American history and a statement issued by Hegseth today drove that point home even further.
As TGP readers know, the Trump Administration has tasked Elon Musk and DOGE to downsize the federal government.
So far, DOGE has saved taxpayers $105 billion.
Many of the programs slashed include DEI and “climate change” programs. These have been rampant within the Department of Defense for decades, contributing to its inability to pass an audit.
On Sunday, far-left CNN published an article using unnamed sources to push a narrative that the Pentagon eliminating climate programs will damage national security.
“I think they’re stuck on the word ‘climate’ and not seeing the operational impacts,” one unnamed official told CNN. He also claimed that the cuts will pose “readiness issues all around.”
“Inaction (on ‘climate change’) at this point will put our readiness and the lives of our troops and their families at greater risk,” whined Dr. Ravi Chaudhary, former assistant secretary of the Air Force for energy, installations and environment.
Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot rightfully disputed this garbage, telling CNNthat the DOD is “is working closely with DOGE to identify efficiencies and savings across the department on behalf of taxpayers while we restore the warrior ethos and refocus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting and winning wars.”
“Climate zealotry and other woke chimeras of the Left are not part of that core mission,” Ullyot added.
Upon seeing Ullyot’s response, Hegseth decided to give his own thoughts with a savage statement that will thrill conservatives across America.
“John is, of course, correct,” Hegseth wrote. “The @DeptofDefense does not do climate change crap.”
“We do training and warfighting.”

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
