Whereas: Planet Earth is imperiled by the rapid advance of global warning and climate change and it is impossible for humans to reverse the impact of global warming without ending war and preparation for war

Whereas: The carbon footprint of the U. S. military industrial complex represents the greatest threat to human survival

Whereas: The 2015 Paris Agreement left cutting military greenhouse gas emissions to the discretion of individual nations, yet the U. S. increased its war expenditures to record highs far outpacing the other nations of the world.

Therefore: We the undersigned call on the U. S. Congress to no longer exempt military greenhouse gas emissions from climate negotiations, and to immediately engage in the de-escalation of U. S. militarism in an effort to save humanity from extinction.
