Military Spending Soars Ahead Of Global Climate Summit

Cop31, the most visible global climate meeting in the world, starts next month. Supporters of the Paris Agreement continue to argue that developed nations spend more money fighting climate change. There is also a call for these developed nations to invest more in underdeveloped nations to fight climate change in those parts of the world as well. These investments have not materialized. That may be partly because money is being spent on military growth at extraordinary rates. Additionally, wars cause tremendous greenhouse gas emissions, as does more mundane military activity.
