It seems that the Russian military has a prior engagement……….

Siberian wildfires burning unchecked because Russian military units are at war

Vast blazes are a major contributor to the climate crisis - but no-one’s putting them out

Expecting 'Breaking News' soon with the story headline 'Captured Ukranian Civilians Forced to Fight Wildfires in Siberia for Food and Water.'

Damn, the worst is getting worst. Didn't know about this. Excellent post.

 

[Hamish Howl]

This is all normal.

Burn, baby, burn. **** Russia. It's worth the bite. Really great news. Let it become desert.

Military vehicles burning boatloads of fossil fuels is a major contributor to the climate crisis- no-one's putting them out.

That's not true.

That's not true.

The US military alone is a huge contributor to climate change.

You claimed no one was "putting the vehicles out". That's false. Plenty of vehicles are being put out. Many basically cease to exist each day, lowering the total number of vehicles (and vehicle parts) operating in the world. In this regard, Ukrainian anti-tank units are some of the greenest people around.

You post a lot of manure. You must have green thumbs and brown fingers.

You're over here talking shit about SUVs while Ukrainians reduce the number of tanks in the world. Who's green?

I recall America's climate czar decrying the effect the Ukraine war would have on ecosystem.

President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, warned that Russia’s war against Ukraine could distract the world from the climate change crisis and produce "massive emissions" that will negatively impact the globe.

John Kerry fears Russia-Ukraine war will distract from climate change

John Kerry warned Wednesday that Russia’s war against Ukraine is going to distract the world from the climate change crisis.

Maybe you think your commentary is funny. Or maybe you feel like you're annoying me.

He is at least partially correct. He probably didn't include the US government's military's ongoing war on Earth's ecosystems.

Are you on team Putin 2024?

 

[ecofarm]

the US government's military's ongoing war on Earth's ecosystems.

1. Is there another US military.
2. Is that like the war on Christmas?

Do you often use absurd reductionism?

I'm being specific about whose military it is.

No, not at all.

True, I heard that it's #47 on the list which means we need to deal with its contributions after we get through the first 46 largest culprits. Could you post that link again that shows the US Military just barely cracks the top 50, so we can see who is #46?

You posted a comment about how green your household is, which included 'personal responsibility,' while completely downplaying corporate irresponsibility. The personal responsibility environmental point had some validity, but it was very off-topic for that thread.

Then you followed that up with a bogus rant about China, and I let it be.

Now you've posted this comment. My friendly conclusion is that you're conservative (Republican, Democrat, whatever) but for some reason also green.

You are afraid to challenge China’s emissions in favor of bogus rants against the US Military. My friendly conclusion is that you are a member of China’s armed forces but for some reason also anti-war.

Gee, that was easy! I see why you do it.

Wrong.

Scientists found a 40-60% emissions increase of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which can damage the Ozone Layer, coming from Eastern China. Use of CFCs were set to be phased out by 2010 by the 1987 Montreal Protocol (Article: BBC: Ozone layer: Banned CFCs traced to China say scientists).

China was found responsible for 27% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 (Article: CNBC: China's greenhouse gas emissions exceed those of U.S. and developed countries combined, report says).

China planned to build 43 new coal-fire plants & 18 new blast furnaces, adding 1.5% to current annual emissions (Article: Time: China Is Planning to Build 43 New Coal-Fired Power Plants).
