NEW YORK — The United States creates more planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions through its defence operations alone than industrialized countries such as Sweden and Portugal, researchers said on Wednesday. The Pentagon’s emissions were “in any one year … greater than many smaller countries’ greenhouse gas emissions,” the study said. “There is a lot of room here to reduce emissions,” Crawford said. It dwarfed yearly emissions by Sweden, which the international research project the Global Carbon Atlas ranks 65th worldwide for its of CO2 emissions. Pentagon emissions were higher than those of Portugal, ranked 57th by the Global Carbon Atlas, said Crawford.
