Let’s face it, the majority who are members of the Cult of Climastrology here in the U.S. vote Democrat. And they have long despised the U.S. military, and have tried many times to reduce, even eliminate, its funding. Since that wasn’t working and didn’t play well with voters, they started infiltrating it to ruin it from the inside. But, hey, what if they could use the “climate crisis” to do the dirty work? The uber-leftist Common Dreams gives it a whirl
Why We Can’t Ignore U.S. Military Emissions
The U.S. military’s carbon bootprint is enormous. Like corporate supply chains, it relies upon an extensive global network of container ships, trucks, and cargo planes to supply its operations with everything from bombs to humanitarian aid and hydrocarbon fuels. Our new study calculated the contribution of this vast infrastructure to climate change.
Greenhouse gas emission accounting usually focuses on how much energy and fuel civilians use. But recent work, including our own, shows that the U.S. military is one of the largest polluters in history, consuming more liquid fuels and emitting more climate-changing gases than most medium-sized countries. If the U.S. military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal. (snip to the end after much whining)
Our study shows that action on climate change demands shuttering vast sections of the military machine. There are few activities on Earth as environmentally catastrophic as waging war. Significant reductions to the Pentagon’s budget and shrinking its capacity to wage war would cause a huge drop in demand from the biggest consumer of liquid fuels in the world.
It does no good tinkering around the edges of the war machine’s environmental impact. The money spent procuring and distributing fuel across the U.S. empire could instead be spent as a peace dividend, helping to fund a Green New Deal in whatever form it might take. There is no shortage of policy priorities that could use a funding bump. Any of these options would be better than fueling one of the largest military forces in history.
Good luck with this notion, chumps. Maybe you can get a few of the Democratic presidential candidates to repeat this, see how that goes.
