Dr Myriam François with Abby Martin: What if one of the planet's biggest threats is the very institution meant to defend it?
From devastating floods in Nepal to wildfires in Canada, the climate emergency is spiralling out of control. As the planet heats up, governments are retreating from climate commitments and ramping up military spending.
Yet one major driver remains largely overlooked: the US military, the world's biggest consumer of fossil fuels. So, is it a coincidence that the climate emergency is disappearing from the political agenda just as its consequences become hard to ignore? And while its connection to growing global militarism is more evident than ever?
This week on The Tea, award-winning American journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin, creator of The Empire Files, joins us to discuss her explosive documentary, Earth's Greatest Enemy, exposing the environmental destruction hidden behind America's global war machine.
