How reducing the US military budget would also reduce emissions
grist.org
New research shows that even with modest reductions in military funding, the United States would keep a whole lot of carbon out of the atmosphere.

the world’s militaries are responsible for more than double that, at 5.5 percent.

If combined, the world’s armed forces would have the fourth highest carbon footprint, behind India, the U.S., and China.

Yet it’s been maddeningly difficult for researchers to monitor the emissions of militaries, which aren’t required to report these things.

    So, you’re telling me yurop will have to deal with their own shit, as they have for for centuries, while other places finally break free of 'murican imperialism? Doesn’t sound bad

    I have no love for China or the CCP, but they are offering a better economic deal than the USA and, afaik, aren’t financing coups and extremist opposition in Africa or South America.
