Climate Change, Water Wars, and Other Scary Stuff: A Webinar on Militarism and Climate Change Webinar Date: Wednesday, February 26, 2025 Time: 7:30 pm EST (6:30 CST, 5:30 MST, 4:30 PST) Presenter: Wendell Chris King, Ph.D., P.E., BCEE Brigadier General, U.S. Army Retired In his presentation, Dr. King will show how climate change takes away from billions of people the ability to provide for their human needs.  This creates insecurity which drives mass migrations, conflicts over scarce resources, and extreme human health risks. The military impacts for the environmental security threats above are a whole new set of challenges to security that the military must prepare to respond to.  History has shown that the only organizations in the world capable of responding to disasters of the size that climate change will produce are national military forces.  Look at the recent examples of fires and floods around the world.  The military must plan for these new missions and train/equip to be ready to respond to whatever comes. Military operations are not immune to the impacts of climate change. Our bases in the US and around the world are already being impacted by climate change.  Further, conducting military operations worldwide will be impacted by the extreme environmental conditions caused by climate change;  again planning and training must change. Finally, the military is a massive consumer of fossil fuels.  DoD has been examining ways to reduce our thirst for fuels with some success.  A discussion of the future of these efforts will help frame what should be done in this area.      CLICK HERE TO REGISTER The Presbyterian Hunger Program strives to walk with people in moving toward sustainable choices that restore and protect all of God’s children and Creation. In Lent, we slow down, take time, and examine our internal spiritual lives and the way we live out our Christian faith in the world around us. PHP's 2025 Lenten calendar is intended to be the beginning of actions intended to create more mindful behaviors throughout the year. Access the resource here: https://hubs.ly/Q03413kW Save the Date!
