We need to close the Pentagon-shaped hole in our plans to fight climate change
Wildfires, tornadoes, heatwaves, and hurricanes are only becoming MORE catastrophic in the face of rising global temperatures. Yet while people across the Southeast prepared for the worst in the face of 2023’s 16th U.S. climate disaster, Congress was finalizing an $886 BILLION weapons and war budget that will only turn up the heat on an already boiling world.
Emissions are a key driver of global warming, and when the temperatures increase, it means more flooding, longer droughts, scorching heat waves, and extreme hurricanes across the globe.
As the largest institutional consumer of petroleum worldwide, the Pentagon is a HUGE source of greenhouse gas emissions — and a HUGE opportunity to make a crucial difference in the fight against global warming.
Win Without War isn’t about to let that happen without a fight, and luckily we’re not the only ones. This summer champions in Congress have been sprinting across the aisle to build bipartisan support for new legislation that would rein in the reckless Pentagon spending that fuels climate change.
All this momentum points to a trend that an era of unaccountable Pentagon budgets is ENDING — and that means THIS is when we need to go harder than ever. Can you fuel this fight with a donation today?
