The US @DeptofDefense budget is set to rise to $1tn. New analysis shows that this will push the Pentagon’s total greenhouse emissions to a staggering 178 Mt of CO2e, resulting in an estimated $47bn in economic damages globally. theguardian.com/environment/20…
NEW: Our study in @guardian shows that the $1T Pentagon budget in Trump’s bill— paid for by cuts to science, education, food stamps, disaster management, and more—will raise the Pentagon’s carbon emissions to greater than the entire country of Ethiopia, and cause 47B in damages.
