Pentagon Assistance in Destroying the Economy

According to the Washington Times, the Pentagon 10 years ago was concerned with the problem of how it should react in its defense responsibility, when faced with possible climate change. The Pentagon contracted with a firm called Global Business Network to produce a report, which anticipated future climate changes that might require actions by the Department of Defense.
The Global Business Network issued its report to the Pentagon 2003. The consultants told the military that, by now, California would be flooded by inland seas, The Hague would be unlivable, polar ice would be mostly gone in summer, and global temperatures would rise at an accelerated rate as high as 0.5 degrees a year. Obviously, none of this has occurred.
In their defense, the consultants now say that their projections were only what "might" have happened. Even so, the Pentagon and many other organizations accepted the predictions as probable fact. The Pentagon still appears to operating on the basis of the consultant's predictions.
Pres. Obama has cut the defense budget by $1 trillion. However even with that large reduction of budget, the Pentagon continues to operate on the basis of a worst possible climate change scenario. For example, it buys jet fuel from outside sources at tremendous overpricing compared to petroleum-based fuel. It is developing strategic military engagement in the Arctic area based on the presumption that Arctic ice is disappearing. It says it focuses on energy efficiency (see conflict with above) and carbon dioxide emissions, which have no connection with climate change. It avoids new construction and expansion in areas where the consultant's report indicates significant sea rise levels. All this frivolity on a budget which has already been reduced by $1 trillion? What's happening with weapon development, which is one of the main objectives of the military? Is that being cut?
Why would the Pentagon be doing these obviously stupid things? Simple answer. The Pentagon works for Pres. Obama, the Military Commander-In-Chief. It is part of the Obama Administration program to castigate carbon dioxide as a radical climate changer, which then can justify a carbon dioxide emission tax and other controls, leading to higher energy costs for the average citizen and the total objective of redistribution of wealth.
