According to a recent UPI press report, the Pentagon will cut greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2010.
A Defense Department memo from November 2005 outlined energy management goals for the military, which included reducing energy consumption in facilities by 2 percent per year, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from facilities 30 percent by 2010.
Compare that with the Kyoto Protocol targets for 2010.
According to United Nations calculations, the protocol's targets represent a 30 percent reduction from the currently projected emissions by industrialized countries in the year 2010 under "business as usual" scenarios with no emissions cuts.
