Military Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate War
Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 12:05pm to 1:00pm
Virtual EventSSP Wednesday seminar with speaker Neta Crawford, Boston University
Is climate war inevitable? The Pentagon is the world’s single largest fuel user and emitter of greenhouse gases. Its annual emissions are larger than many of the world’s country’s emissions. The DOD also frets about climate change caused conflict, calling climate change a “threat multiplier.” What is the scope and scale of Pentagon fuel use? Can it be reduced?
Talk to be streamed at noon (actually 12:05pm) from SSP's YouTube page.

Very interesting discussion of how military activities contribute to climate, and how climate change has shaped and influenced military and national security strategy.
