Seems economics is playing the largest roll
in defining relations between the players in the global heating debate,
but has anyone thought how much carbon emissions and greenhouse gases
have been released by the deployment and exercises
of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan?
“An Iraqi girl walks past a house destroyed overnight in a US air strike in the al-Washash neighbourhood of Mansour district in west Baghdad. US combat helicopters and tanks have bombarded a Baghdad neighbourhood in pre-dawn strikes, killing 14 sleeping civilians and destroying houses, angry residents and Iraqi officials said.(AFP/Ahamd Al-Rubaye)”
Seems the landscaping activities of the Pentagon in these regions
are done using large amounts of crude derived materials and fuels,
and the actual landscaping equipment of our beloved Pentagon,
unlike those found in your friendly neighbor’s garage,
use large incendiary devices,
which contribute to the death and misery of many,
while also polluting the landscape and atmosphere.
Is it not correct that one could say
that the advent of the combustible engine,
and the airplane,
have resulted in more deaths in the world
than say the black plague, influenza,
or a combined count of these.
Anyone tallying up the [death] count
since these two inventions came into being?
Let us not forget the steam engine in that equation!
