"These greenhouse gases, combined with other U.S. emissions, will help guarantee the nightmare scenarios that the military predicts and that many climate scientists say are possible."

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mitigate climate change and its associated threats to national security.

Reduce fossil fuel consumption reduces the dependence of troops in the field on oil.

Decrease U.S. dependence on oil-rich states the U.S. could then reevaluate the size of the U.S. military presence in the Persian Gulf.

U.S. could decrease its military spending and reorient the economy to more economically productive activities.
