Edstrom is a West Point graduate, author, and former U.S. Army infantry officer who got out of the military after serving Afghanistan to study climate change and finance at Oxford University. Edstrom says the 20-year-long Afghanistan War contributed enough carbon emissions to kill multitudes of people. His assessment is based on studies such as one published in Nature Communications, which estimated that approx 4,400 metric tons of CO2 emissions is enough to kill one person. </p><p>The U.S. Department of Defense is required to report its energy use to the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program. In FY2020, total estimated DoD greenhouse gas emissions based solely on fuel usage data were more than 51 million metric tons of CO2. That figure includes emissions from standard day-to-day operations as well as emissions from non-standard operations such as combat support, law enforcement, emergency response, and spaceflight. Edstrom says there’s more to be concerned with than just operating emissions.</p><p>Edstrom says the U.S. Department of Defense budget, which in fiscal year 2021 was more than $703 billion, is bolstered by fear. He thinks Americans’ fears are misguided. Edstrom thinks the future military will be more electric, but says requiring the military-industrial complex to report the full scope of its emissions, beyond just fuel usage, is a crucial step in getting there.</p><p><a href="/tags/polluted_climate/" rel="tag">#POLLUTED_CLIMATE</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="/tags/climatecrisis/" rel="tag">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="/tags/military/" rel="tag">#Military</a> <a href="/tags/army/" rel="tag">#Army</a> <a href="/tags/earth/" rel="tag">#Earth</a> <a href="/tags/environment/" rel="tag">#Environment</a> <a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#Science</a> <a href="/tags/pollution/" rel="tag">#POLLUTION</a></p><p>2.

<p>I&#x27;ve finished: A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys</p><p> A Half-Built Garden is the most Fediversial novel I&#x27;ve read. </p><p>The anarchists have won. The corporations and nation states have been sidelined. Most of the world is under the control of egalitarian communities that use an alternative network to achieve consensus and work to rehabilitate the climate change ravaged earth. </p><p>This is very much a slice of life novel in the vain of Becky Chambers, centered around a communal lgbtqia+ household. But as opposed to most slice of life novels there is a major crisis, and it falls upon this community to save the day. </p><p>Aliens have made first contact and they insist that the only way for technological species to survive is to leave their biospheres behind and build Dyson Swarms. </p><p>As their way of life comes under threat from without and within, Will the dandelion network survive? Will the power of decisions through discussion and consensus overcome manipulation and coercion. </p><p>A special aspect of the aliens is the importance they place on the place of children in society. </p><p>PS: </p><p>I didn&#x27;t expect this novel to be so Jewish, what a delight. </p><p>@bookstodon @audiobooks <br><a href="/tags/sciencefiction/" rel="tag">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="/tags/firstcontact/" rel="tag">#FirstContact</a> <a href="/tags/anarchism/" rel="tag">#Anarchism</a> <a href="/tags/lgbtq/" rel="tag">#lgbtq</a> <a href="/tags/jewish/" rel="tag">#Jewish</a> <a href="/tags/climatechange/" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/audiobooks/" rel="tag">#AudioBooks</a></p>
