Pentagon Emits More CO2 Than Most Countries, Media Asks 'Can We Defund Armies?'
The mainstream media's sudden interest in military emissions is truly touching. As The New Arab points out , the U.S. military alone is a larger polluter than over 140 nations. That's a lot of 'freedom' delivered by F-35s that will never be held accountable by international climate agreements. While COP30 attendees quibble over carbon credits, the Pentagon's budget—which consistently hovers around
$886 billion, dwarfing most nations' entire economies—remains a sacred cow. One might wonder if the climate goals were ever serious, or just a performance, given the lack of scrutiny on its largest fossil fuel consumer.
