Pete Hegseth says the Defense Department doesn’t ‘do’ climate change despite being one of the largest polluters - The U.S. military has been identified as the single-largest consumer of energy in the U.

Secretary Pete Hegseth of the Department of Defense told a CNN reporter that his department focuses on war fighting and training, not "climate change crap."

The military has a long history of research into climate change. Now the department said the ending of climate and other research makes fiscal sense.
