@silence7 I don’t think there will be anything more than a rough estimate for the militaries, given that many are developing secret projects, or have their number of various vehicles classified.
But war, sadly, ads a lot to greenhouse gas emissions. Literally every single vehicle could at some point be set ablaze, and it doesn’t matter how much that vehicle emits. It will just burn to the ground and all these rubber and plastic components will go in the atmosphere.
Also, explosions can set everything ablaze, not just vehicles. And it’s also the modified terrain after the explosions, forests destroyed and if we also happen to bring nuclear weapons in the field, it’s game over for the planet.
Some militaries say publishing details of their oil and gas consumption could give adversaries insight into their operations.
This is why. Knowing supply requirements helps enemies plan their operations.
At least the US Navy has several nuclear powered vessels and the US DoD acknowledge that climate change is a real problem.
Last I heard the US Navy is the single biggest polluting organization in the world, with all that bunker fuel they burn in addition to their aviation program.
There aren’t good replacements for fossil fuels for military applications. The same thing with aviation. This means we need to phase out everything that has suitable replacements ASAP to give us time to figure out these more difficult uses.
My first ask is that they finish their audit, or I ain’t coming to the table to talk.
