the DoD is the single largest institutional polluter on the planet...so if they're quite concerned with climate change, they can start by fixing themselves

If the DoD disappeared tomorrow, wouldn’t pretty much the entire world immediately build up their militaries?

They are heavy polluters, and I certainly hope they do everything in their charge to clean up as best they can, but if the entire world under the USAF’s umbrella suddenly lacked that support, I’d suspect you’d see quite the carbon emissions from the immediate arms build ups and regional conflicts.

It’s not like the rest of the world just loves peace, we don’t really exist in some sort of vacuum unfortunately.

The people who want the first part to happen also want the second.
