If the U.S. wants to become a leader in the environmental and climate change industries, they need to resolve the elephant in the room. The expansive use of the military which prohibits any nation from becoming an environmental leader for the world. This video has some hard facts that can be researched and brought to the public's attention and maybe just maybe things can start to change. It is ludicrous to think that any nations that spends so much for national security can achieve climate goals and objectives. Surprisingly the WEF doesn't bring this up in their reports.

In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at the environmental and social cost of the military and militarism. I narrow in on the United States military-industrial complex because it is by far the biggest military machine in the world. I look at how the military and the military-industrial complex is a massive polluter in terms of both emissions and chemical waste. In addition, the video looks at whether or not these environmental and monetary burdens caused by the military-industrial complex are justified. Have the multitude of wars the United States has wage been just or are they manifestations of imperialism. Ultimately, the video connects environmental destruction with military imperialism and concludes that demilitarization is the only truly effective answer to the carbon footprint of the military.
