The US military is canceling more than 90 studies, including some that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed as climate change "crap."
Military and intelligence officials have over the past decade identified potential security threats from climate change that include natural disasters in densely populated coastal areas and damage to American military bases worldwide.
"The (Department of Defense) does not do climate change crap," Hegseth posted on X on Sunday. Hegseth took office in President Donald Trump's new administration on January 25.
