So, what is the US military doing about it? If you guessed ‘killing more soldiers in training via heatstroke,’ you’re right on the money. Thanks to a fan of the show, we had a chance to read this in-depth piece from Inside Climate News on the topic of heat deaths, the military’s obligation to both assess risks and (politically speaking) not seem as though they’re opposing Trump’s climate denial, and much more: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23072019/military-heat-death-illness-climate-change-risk-security-global-warming-benning-bragg-chaffee?fbclid=IwAR1CfQwRxg4sX4pc0gud7gZa28tTXEZXySplP9sewnaZVblCluJVT7T4Gdw This week’s bonus features our monthly Q&A; session, in which we answer the questions you’ve asked us: https://www.patreon.com/posts/28644105 You may have noticed that the first issue of our zine has debuted, and you can get it in print by signing up at the $10 monthly Patreon tier.
