As a result of final hour demands made by the United
States during negotiation of the 1997 Kyoto treaty,
military carbon emissions are exempted from
climate negotiations.
But the U.S.
military is the largest institutional consumer
of fossil fuels in the world and a key
contributor to climate collapse!
U.S. climate
envoy designate, John Kerry, is right; the Paris
Agreement is “not enough.”
We're organizing around this new petition:
To: John Kerry and the U.S.
Congress
From:
All emissions need to be included in
order to justly meet international pledges made to
protect the earth's climate. There must be no more
exception for military pollution.
