It can't be helping, right?
"Global Warming and the Iraq War"
".... The war is responsible for at least 141 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO2e) since March 2003. To put this in perspective, CO2 released by the war to date equals the emissions from putting 25 million more cars on the road in the US this year....
Between March 2003 and October 2007 the US military in Iraq purchased more than 4 billion gallons of fuel from the Defense Energy Support Center, the agency responsible for procuring and supplying petroleum products to the Department of Defense. Burning these fuels has directly produced nearly 39 million metric tons of CO2 Just transporting 4 billion gallons of fuel to the military in Iraq consumed at least as much fuel as was delivered nearly doubling overall fuel-related emissions....
If the war were ranked as a country in terms of annual emissions, it would emit more CO2 each year than 139 of the world’s nations do, more than 60% of all countries on the planet....
The emissions associated with the war in Iraq are literally unreported. Military emissions abroad are not captured in the national greenhouse gas inventories that all industrialized nations, including the United States, report under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It’s a loophole big enough to drive a tank through."
"This is why we know the Global Warming cult is all about tricking out of money and freedom, because the very same people screaming about forcing you to pay a carbon tax seldom make much fuss about the Iraq war's impact on the climate." -- Mike Rivero of whatreallyhappened.com
That's a GREAT POINT!!!
Where are they on shutting down the war machine?
I never hear them squawking about that!!!!
It's always some guilt trip about how I'm responsible for global warming!
Mark my words, some day you will have to pay for farting!!!
