“That’s why we’re taking the climate - one of the reasons why we’re taking the climate crisis so very seriously, because we are - we are a contributor to those emissions.” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said it “doesn’t do anybody good” to make a “relative” assessment of national security issues.
Kirby told reporters that he had not seen the comments, but said that the Pentagon knows they “are the largest emitter here in the federal government.” John Kirby was pressed during a briefing on comments made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in Scotland this week, during which she stated that the US military is a “larger polluter than 140 countries combined.” The chief Pentagon spokesman said Wednesday that climate change and China are “equally important” threats to the United States, adding that it “doesn’t do anybody good” to make a “relative” assessment of national security issues.
