Military Carbon Emissions & Congressional Blocking of DoD Emission Reduction Efforts w/ Hanna Homestead

On this edition of Parallax Views, Hanna Homestead, a policy analyst for the Center for International Policy, joins me to discuss the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2024 in relation to climate change, carbon emissions, and emission reductions efforts. We delve into the Congressional efforts to block Department of Defense emission reduction endeavors and the reasons for that. We also delve into the paradoxical nature of U.S. militarized foreign policy "national interests" doctrine, the Biden administration, third party contractors and the DoD, the need for accountability and transparency measures, 9/11 and the War on Terror in relation to the NDAA, the 2001 and 2003 AUMFs (Authorization for Use of Military Force), Congressional pork barreling, and more!
