The Pentagon is the biggest military polluter. It made 48 million tonnes of carbon gases in 2023, more than Finland or Syria.

Trump's plans may increase gases. He has threatened war, causing more army spending and pollution.
The US army uses most fossil fuels, causing 80% of government pollution. Trump wants to spend more on the army but less on climate change research.
US military pollution is not counted in climate talks, so it's hard to know its real impact on the environment.
Military actions and spending increase pollution. Pollution rose in the 1980s and after 9/11 when the US prepared for war.
The military industry makes pollution from weapons and planes. Other pollution, like burning oil fields and destroying forests, is often not counted.
Military pollution is 5.5% of global pollution, more than planes and ships. If it were a country, it would be the fourth biggest polluter.
The US military sees climate change as a problem but asks for more money instead of cutting pollution, showing little care for the planet.
