A new report is raising concerns about how climate change and soaring temperatures are going to impact the U.S. military in the years ahead
is raising concerns about how climate change and soaring temperatures are going to impact the U.S. military in the years ahead. The research analyzed the increasing frequency of days with dangerous heat at sizeable Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Navy installations in the contiguous United States, finding that by mid-century, those facilities will experience nearly five times as many days with a heat index above 100°F as they have historically.
Illustrating the extent to which the problem is prevalent on the home front, 40% of all heat-related illness cases over the past five years occurred on five sprawling bases in the Southeast of the United States - Fort Benning in Georgia, Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Camp Lejeune/Cherry Point in North Carolina, Fort Campbell in Kentucky and Fort Polk in Louisiana. During the same period, only 8% of total heat-related illness cases occurred outside the United States.
