00:00Charjaya was going through the article that you have written for the Pioneer.
00:04It's titled The Climate Cost of the War Machine.
00:07In the beginning itself it says, the world's militaries combined account for an estimated 5.5% of global greenhouse
00:14emissions.
00:15That is nearly three times as much as the world's commercial slides emit.
00:19Nobody mentions the military operations, peacetime and wartime, as one of the most important and catastrophic sources of carbon emission.
00:35We take that as something non-negotiable.
00:39We take that as some kind of existential rule that cannot be questioned or sought to be changed.
00:50I was just looking at the Kyoto Protocol you talked about.
00:55In 1997 the US pushed hard and lobbied so that this is excluded.
01:01Is that not very interesting?
01:02Yes.
01:04And that fact is rarely mentioned anywhere.
01:06It was not mentioned and the surprising thing is in 1997 the US had a democratic government.
01:11The democrats were there who were supposedly pro-climate.
01:15Right.
01:16And they are the ones who lobbied for this.
01:19Even from climate action groups, we rarely get to hear of this.
01:25Nobody wants to tell you about this.
01:27Yes.
01:27Because this must be kept a secret.
01:30This must be kept almost sacred.
01:34Yes.
01:34And that's why these things are not brought out in public.
01:37And that's why these things are not brought out in public.
01:37Not only ways for these things.
01:37But friends don't really new toque you.
01:38Oh my God.
01:38There's also a whole효 that will tragedy.
01:39OK, thank you very much.
