The headline is misleading, since it suggests that the military is scared of someone else, when in fact they are the biggest polluter.

No, the headline says they are scared of climate change (which is not a "someone", but a collection of serious consequences) and then includes the irony that they are contributing to that very threat as a big polluter.

You may have seen the updated headline, which is much clearer.

Very possible - I didn't realize it had been changed. My apologies.

I read it the same way: The military is scared of climate change and of the world’s biggest polluter.

OP here -- I can see how that could be read incorrectly. Updated for clarity

Thanks, that's much better.
