If you look at this article carefully, you will find a couple of paragraphs
which carry, in my estimation, a deep and bitter irony:
The EPA says that each gallon of gasoline produces 19.4 pounds of CO2. Each
gallon of diesel produces 22.2 pounds of CO2.
Total it up and routine operations by a military bigger than all other world
militaries combined puts more than 48 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere every year. Nearly half that total could be eliminated by ending
the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan. [TomDispatch.com June 16/07;
