That article is incredibly selective. For instance, the conclusion of the GAO investigation recommended that that level of spending was far too LITTLE. From their 2017 high risk report[1]: "For example, the Department of Defense's (DOD) 2010 and 2014 Quadrennial Defense Reviews state that climate change poses risks to defense infrastructure, particularly on the coasts. DOD's infrastructure consists of more than 555,000 defense facilities and 28 million acres of land, with a replacement value of close to $850 billion." Climate change is not some experiment for the virtue of learned knowledge. It's a management effort. The immediate costs far outweigh our spending, much less the future costs.
