TMN Update 0032 - Perspective: Climate Change Impacts On US Military

Truffle Media Update 0032 Show Notes: Whether or not humans play a part in climate change, the US military has to respond to real issues, like the sever damage Tyndall Air Force sustained from Hurricane Michael. This podcast episode from Defense One outlines a perspective on the changes in climate across the globe and how it is materially impacting all aspects of the US military. Consider these facts: "America's 'Tornado Alley' has moved 500 miles in 30 years", "There's been a 50-fold increase in dangerous heatwaves since 1980", and "Worldwide flooding has quadrupled since 1980" - Now imagine how you in agriculture today need to consider these same issues in the context of growing food.
