An interesting video on an upcoming film, Earth’s Greatest Enemy.

Filmmaker Ebby Martin talks about the world's largest institutional polluter: the US military.
Despite this she says the military is not even included when discussing emissions.
Key US politicians are on the payroll of big arms manufacturers, and hence try to hide the role of the military as the world's biggest polluter.

The US Military is Earth's greatest threat...LOL

I am sure that China will fight a "Green" war. They are probably getting their solar powered tanks all lined up right along with their wind-powered submarines in the harbors.

If we had a decent carbon fee system that worked, the military would be encouraged to reduce fossil fuel consumption just like the private sector. Political will is the issue.

Only an insane liberal would come up with such tripe.

The US military is the only thing that prevents the world from being conquered by totalitarian tyrants.

If liberals fail to understand that, then LIBERALS ARE THE WORLD'S GREATEST ENEMY AND THREAT.

Your view of the military is an illusion. At about 18 mins she says that the US military supports 3 out of 4 dictatorships.
And the main focus of her film is the environment. The US military is destroying our planet like no other organization.

I wonder if Dear Abby drives a car? Or heats her home with fossil-derived fuels? Or drinks water from a plastic bottle?

The world's greatest threat is the Hypocritical Climate Fanatic™ with tyrannical inclinations.


Note: not all climate fanatics are hypocritical. Only about 99.9% of them. The ones who live in a 200 square foot passive-solar-heated cabin with composting toilet, no electricity, filtered rainwater or river water for plumbing, and no powered vehicle are not hypocritical. While it is true they "raped the planet" (like everyone else) in order to set up their "sustainable lifestyle cabin," at LEAST they are actually doing what they caterwaul about. Other than that, people like little Greta are about the most hypocritical, loathsome creatures on this side of the universe.

He says as Putin is decimating a nation and threatening to use nuclear weapons.

To a certain extent I agree, there are hypocritical environmentalists. But she is not talking about individual citizens, but an organization whose extremely destructive emissions are being ignored for certain reasons.

You are out of your mind.

Idiocy is destroying our planet. Liberal idiots fail to face THE REAL THREATS TO THE PLANET, as they are not popular issues for which they can get virtue signaling points from their echo chamber lib friends. Libs won't do a damn thing about these real issues, as the would have to make sacrifices that would hamper their social lives.

1. plastics in the ocean
2. erosion of tillable soil
3. contamination of fresh water with pesticides and fertilizers
4. over-irrigation increasing salt levels of land and depleting aquafirs
5. Dead zones in oceans from ag run off
6. Acid rain
7. Urbanization with encroachment on tillable land and forests
8. "Green energy" initatives killing the rainforests to plant switch grass
9. Unchecked industrial output from developing countries contaminating the air and water
10. Heavy metal contamination from electronics and batteries


Look at all of the oil spilled in the oceans, land destroyed, and contaminants released in ww2. That was all caused BY A LACK OF STRONG MILITARIES IN THE WEST TO OPPOSE HITLER AND TOJO. A strong military is a preventative force for extended, destructive, global war.

Only a liberal would be dense enough to think otherwise.

But she don't, and she ain't, because no aunt could possibly have them. Just as no "carbon fee system" can work (i.e. accurately reflect an actual amount of pollution), or otherwise be anywhere near "decent".
