💥 🔥 How the #Military_Industrial_Complex Affects OUR #POLLUTION_CRISIS | #ROOT_CAUSE OF MAJOR #POLLUTION IS #MILITARY_EMISSIONS 💣
⛽ One of the Largest #EMITTERS of #POLLUTION (aka Climate Change) is the #Military and therefore the NEXT STEP is that we NEED TRANSPARENCY of Military Emissions AND THOSE EMISSIONS (POLLUTION) NEED TO BE #REDUCED ...2 decades ago! 🏴☠️ 🤑
What is a real threat is climate change’ — This U.S. Army vet is calling out the military for being one of the ‘largest emitters’ of carbon emissions. ☠️ 🔥
The potential climate impact of the War on Terror is staggering, according to U.S. Army veteran Erik Edstrom. Edstrom is a West Point graduate, author, and former U.S. Army infantry officer who got out of the military after serving Afghanistan to study climate change and finance at Oxford University. Edstrom says the 20-year-long Afghanistan War contributed enough carbon emissions to kill multitudes of people. His assessment is based on studies such as one published in Nature Communications, which estimated that approx 4,400 metric tons of CO2 emissions is enough to kill one person.
The U.S. Department of Defense is required to report its energy use to the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program. In FY2020, total estimated DoD greenhouse gas emissions based solely on fuel usage data were more than 51 million metric tons of CO2. That figure includes emissions from standard day-to-day operations as well as emissions from non-standard operations such as combat support, law enforcement, emergency response, and spaceflight. Edstrom says there’s more to be concerned with than just operating emissions.
Edstrom says the U.S. Department of Defense budget, which in fiscal year 2021 was more than $703 billion, is bolstered by fear. He thinks Americans’ fears are misguided. Edstrom thinks the future military will be more electric, but says requiring the military-industrial complex to report the full scope of its emissions, beyond just fuel usage, is a crucial step in getting there.
