But please be accurate in the sign-on statement.
You say ” The US Military is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet, yet these emissions are exempted from reporting requirements.”

Single source compared to what? Surely not the U.S. or China (now the leading C emitter), and not the Military Industrial Complex itself, the core of the U.S. economy, with the US Military (Pentagon) being its “global oil-protection service”. In the Fact Sheet provided, this claim is shown to be poorly worded at best: “Ironically, the Department of Defense is the largest institutional oil consumer in the world. As Sara Flounders writes for the IAC[5]: “Even according to rankings in the 2006 CIA World Factbook, only 35 countries (out of 210 in the world) consume more oil per day than the Pentagon.” Steve Kretzmann, director of Oil Change International, pointed out that “The Iraq war … emits more than 60 percent of all countries.” ”

Second, the statement says ” Access to more oil, the burning of which is fundamental cause of climate change – is the primary underlying motive for current wars.”
I would word this a bit differently, pointing out that coal now contributes to about one-third of carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuel. The use of coal and tar sands should be rapidly phased out, leave them in the ground! But you are correct to emphasize the strategic importance of access to oil as a primary motive for current wars..I addressed this issue in my CNS paper, Schwartzman, D. 2009a. Ecosocialism or Ecocatastrophe? Capitalism Nature Socialism 20 (1): 6-33.
A more recent assessment of U.S. military GHG emissions is found at:
http://www.environmentmagazine.org/Archives/Back+Issues/July-August+2010/securing-foreign-oil-full.html (
There you will find an estimate of 172 Million Mt CO2 e for the total conventional GHG emissions per year for the US Military Life Cycle GHG emissions (Table 1), compared to the 2007 global anthropogenic CO2 emissions of 29,321, 6,538 (China), 5,838 (U.S.) (a bit smaller than GHG CO2 e because some anthropogenic sources are not included: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions).
Hence the military GHG emissions are no more than 3 % of the U.S. total, and no more than 0.6 % of the global total per year.

Families for a Clean Tennessee released a video reinforcing a poll conducted by Insider Advantage. The poll uncovered that more than 80% of voters oppose dumping nuclear waste in ordinary commercial landfills.

The poll also uncovered the following:

* 90% believe nuclear waste should be disposed of in long-term isolation facilities.
* More than 75% of likely voters-both Democrats and Republicans– are more likely to support a candidate for Governor that is opposed to nuclear dumping and the BSFR program.
* Nearly 60% are more likely to support a legislative candidate that is opposed to nuclear dumping and the BSFR program.
* More than 50% have stated they would actively work for the election of any candidate from either party that opposes the dumping of nuclear waste in Tennessee landfills.
* More than 50% support Senate Bill 687, and more than 60% are more likely to vote for candidates that support Senate Bill 687.
* 63.5% believe that under no circumstance should nuclear waste be dumped in Tennessee.

A copy of the poll has been sent to every legislator in Tennessee along with a pledge asking them to support ending the practice of Bulk Survey for Release.
