The only thing that will save us now is for the American people to take the lead (millions of us are doing it already - we just need a few more). See What is to be Done (apologies to V.I.

It is probably also true that they are the largest user of oil for an organization whose members wear uniforms and pretty ribbons. But these statements are not useful in determining the effect the military has on the planet’s climate.<br /><br />The 3.5 million gallons of oil used per day for U.S. combat operations in the Middle East is a large number, but it is still only a thousandth of the world consumption of more than 3.5 billion gallons per day. <br /><br />And the Pentagon may be the single largest oil user in the world, and rank at number 36 if it were considered a country by itself. But, if so, this would place it among countries that contribute just a few tenths of one percent of the total of global CO2 emissions. As both China and the United States contribute more than 20% each to these emissions this seems to indicate that the role played by the military in these emissions is small.<br /><br />In short, if the US military were to vanish tomorrow, we would still have global CO2 emissions virtually identical to what they are today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-56030182987396106442009-12-21T12:03:18.561-08:002009-12-21T12:03:18.561-08:00why do you think that the usa hsa not invaded / oc...why do you think that the usa hsa not invaded / occupied North Korea ??? they do not have any Oil / Gas under their soil.<br /><br />Afghan is close to huge deposits of both in Central Asia.<br /><br />and we all know that Iraq simply floats on Oil.<br /><br />and why is the usa getting ready to attack and invade Venezuela ??? oh that is right !! Hugo has quite a bit of Oil.<br /><br />and why is the usa so concerned whether Iran has nuclear weapons or not ??? because the Persians could incinerate the zionist jews ??? hardly. it is because if the Iranians have nukes, they might be able to repel the upcoming usa attack and invasion and stealing of their Oil and Gas.<br /><br />this is what it all boils down to - the usa will attack / invade / occupy your country if you have any Natural Resources that it requires / desires - Oil & Gas being at the of the list - but soon, fresh water and arable land is going to creep up the charts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-59862051645113394362009-12-21T11:45:06.285-08:002009-12-21T11:45:06.285-08:00Pentagon’s Role in Global Catastrophe: Add Climate...Pentagon’s Role in Global Catastrophe: Add Climate Havoc to War Crimes<br />By every measure, the Pentagon is the largest institutional user of petroleum products and energy in general.
