This can't be true. There have been about 500,000 total Hummer H2s made for civilians. Just ONE Hummer model. The entire military fleet of non-combat vehicles is 174,000. Combat vehicles = less than 75,000. #UrbanLegend to think the military pollutes more than civilians.

This can't be true. Over the last 20 years the U.S. has dropped 350,000 bombs/missiles. According to @CARandDRIVER 2-3% of ALL vehicles catch fire. This means in the U.S. that 5,500,000+ cars catch fire. (2% of 278 million) Nowhere on the internet can I confirm your tweet.

I may community note this tweet. This is total B.S. There are 250,000 vehicles TOTAL in the U.S. military. There are 278,000,000 civilian cars in the U.S. A bomb being dropped = how many car fires, that happen daily here? This tweet is absolutely false.

This graph says you are wrong. Source @EPA A better source on green house gases than whoever told you this #UrbanLegend

This can't be true. Over the last 30 years the U.S. dropped 350,000 bombs/missiles. There are 350,000 structure fires per YEAR. This means every bomb the U.S. drops would have to level 20 houses on average. This isn't close, your tweet is #UrbanLegend

This can't be true. This tweet means, you absolutely aren't getting my vote, because this is an outright lie, with no science to back it up. You just posted an #UrbanLegend Show the stats or you don't get our votes. This is the propganda that will end up in the death of earth

You should stop talking about #ClimateEmergency because it's clear that you don't consult professionals. I am going to be here, making you look bad, until you get experts on #ClimateEmergency You are spreading an #UrbanLegend that we all think is true, but no science agrees.

The PRESIDENT shouldn't be spreading #UrbanLegend Very @realDonaldTrump-like to get on TV and just spew whatever, without doing any research. Not sure who you are trusting for this info because you cited no source, but they are wrong. The leader on #ClimateEmergency is me.
