tus thawj kev xam tus kheej ntawm nws hom tau pom tias Tebchaws Askiv cov tub rog-kev lag luam kev lag luam txhua xyoo tso tawm ntau lub tsev cog khoom roj ntau dua 60 tus neeg lub tebchaws, xws li Uganda, uas muaj cov pejxeem ntawm 45 lab tus tib neeg.
UK cov tub rog sector tau pab 6.5 lab tonnes ntawm carbon dioxide sib npaug rau lub ntiaj teb huab cua hauv 2017-2018 - xyoo kawg uas txhua cov ntaub ntawv muaj. Ntawm cov no, tsab ntawv tshaj tawm kwv yees tias Ministry of Defense (MOD) tag nrho cov pa hluav taws xob ncaj qha hauv tsev cog khoom hauv xyoo 2017-2018 yog 3.03 lab tonnes ntawm carbon dioxide sib npaug.
Daim duab rau MOD yog ntau tshaj peb npaug ntawm 0.94 lab tonnes ntawm carbon emissions qhia nyob rau hauv cov ntawv tseem ceeb ntawm MOD daim ntawv tshaj tawm txhua xyoo, thiab zoo ib yam li cov emissions ntawm UK kev lag luam tsheb tsim.
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm tshiab, sau los ntawm Dr Stuart Parkinson ntawm Cov Kws Tshawb Fawb rau Lub Luag Haujlwm Thoob Ntiaj Teb, pom tias Tebchaws Askiv MOD yog "ua dag ntxias" rau pej xeem txog nws qib ntawm cov pa roj carbon monoxide.
Kev tshuaj ntsuam kuj tseem siv lwm txoj hauv kev los xam cov tub rog UK cov pa roj carbon emissions - raws li kev siv nyiaj tiv thaiv txhua xyoo - uas pom tias tag nrho "carbon hneev taw" ntawm UK cov tub rog muaj txog 11 lab tonnes ntawm carbon dioxide sib npaug. Qhov no yog ntau dua 11 npaug ntau dua li cov duab tau hais hauv cov ntawv tseem ceeb ntawm MOD cov ntawv tshaj tawm txhua xyoo.
Cov pa roj carbon hneev taw yog xam los ntawm kev siv "kev siv-raws li" txoj hauv kev, uas suav nrog tag nrho cov emissions lifecycle emissions, xws li cov uas tshwm sim txawv teb chaws los ntawm raw khoom extraction thiab pov tseg cov khoom pov tseg.
Tus thawj coj tub rog laus hauv tebchaws Askiv, Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, hais tias Hauv 2013 tias qhov kev hem thawj ua rau UK kev ruaj ntseg los ntawm kev hloov pauv huab cua yog qhov hnyav li qhov tshwm sim los ntawm kev tawm tsam cyber thiab kev ua phem.
Covid-19 kev kub ntxhov tau ua rau Hu los ntawm cov kws tshaj lij los ntsuas qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev tiv thaiv thiab kev nyab xeeb ntawm British. Daim ntawv tshaj tawm ceeb toom tias yav tom ntej kev ua tub rog loj loj yuav "ua rau muaj kev nce ntxiv" hauv cov pa hluav taws xob hauv tsev cog khoom, tab sis cov no tsis tshwm sim hauv tsoomfwv txiav txim siab.
Kev ua tub rog xws li xa cov dav hlau sib ntaus sib tua, kev ua rog thiab cov tso tsheb hlau luam, thiab kev siv cov tub rog txawv teb chaws, muaj zog heev thiab nyob ntawm cov roj fossil.
Arms tuam txhab
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm kuj txheeb xyuas cov pa roj carbon monoxide uas tsim los ntawm 25 lub tuam txhab ua tub rog UK thiab lwm tus neeg xa khoom loj rau MOD, uas ua ke ua haujlwm ib ncig ntawm 85,000 tus neeg. Nws suav tias UK kev lag luam riam phom emissions 1.46 lab tonnes ntawm carbon dioxide sib npaug ib xyoos ib zaug, ib theem zoo ib yam li emissions ntawm tag nrho cov domestic flights nyob rau hauv lub UK.
BAE Systems, UK lub tuam txhab riam phom loj tshaj plaws, tau pab 30% ntawm cov emissions los ntawm Tebchaws Askiv kev lag luam riam phom. Cov emitters loj tshaj plaws tom ntej yog Babcock International (6%) thiab Leonardo (5%).
Raws li kev muag khoom muaj nqis ntawm £ 9-billion, daim ntawv tshaj tawm kwv yees tias cov pa roj carbon hneev taw ntawm UK xa tawm cov khoom siv tub rog hauv 2017-2018 yog 2.2-million tonnes ntawm carbon dioxide sib npaug.
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm tsa cov lus nug txog qhov pom tseeb ntawm cov tuam txhab riam phom ntiag tug thaum nws los txog rau kev tshaj tawm ib puag ncig. Nws pom tias xya lub tuam txhab nyob hauv UK tsis tau muab "cov ntaub ntawv tsim nyog tsawg kawg nkaus" ntawm cov pa roj carbon emissions hauv lawv cov ntawv tshaj tawm txhua xyoo. Tsib lub tuam txhab - MBDA, AirTanker, Elbit, Leidos Europe thiab WFEL - tsis muaj cov ntaub ntawv ntawm lawv cov emissions tag nrho.
Tsuas yog ib lub tuam txhab muab cov MOD, lub tuam txhab kev sib txuas lus BT, muab kev ntsuam xyuas qhov tob ntawm nws cov pa hluav taws xob ncaj qha thiab tsis ncaj qha rau hauv nws daim ntawv tshaj tawm txhua xyoo.
'Ib qho qauv ntawm kev qhia tsis zoo'
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm pom tias MOD yog "xaiv tau ntau hauv cov ntaub ntawv thiab cov ntaub ntawv ntsig txog ntawm nws cov kev cuam tshuam ib puag ncig" uas nws tshaj tawm, uas tau "feem ntau ua yuam kev-strewn".
MOD tshaj tawm txog nws lub tsev cog khoom emissions nyob rau hauv ib feem ntawm nws daim ntawv qhia txhua xyoo hu ua "Sustainable MOD". Nws faib nws cov dej num hauv ob thaj chaw dav: Cov vaj tse, uas suav nrog cov tub rog hauv paus thiab cov tsev neeg pej xeem; thiab muaj peev xwm, uas suav nrog kev ua tsov rog, submarines, dav hlau sib ntaus sib tua, tso tsheb hlau luam thiab lwm yam khoom siv tub rog.
Tab sis cov nuj nqis ntawm cov pa roj carbon emissions lub MOD muab npog tsuas yog Estates thiab tsis muaj peev xwm, qhov kawg tsuas yog raug nthuav tawm nyob rau hauv ib qho ntxiv thiab tsuas yog ob xyoos tom qab tshaj tawm xyoo.
Cov ntaub ntawv qhia tias lub tsev cog khoom roj emissions ntawm Peev xwm yog tshaj 60% ntawm tag nrho rau tag nrho MOD. Cov kws sau ntawv sau tseg tias "tus qauv ntawm kev tshaj tawm tsis zoo zoo li yog qhov tshwj xeeb ntawm Sustainable MOD nyob rau ntau xyoo".
Qee qhov kev ua tub rog raug zam los ntawm pej xeem ib puag ncig kev cai lij choj - qhov twg MOD txiav txim siab tias muaj "kev tiv thaiv xav tau" - thiab qhov no, daim ntawv tshaj tawm sib cav, kuj cuam tshuam kev tshaj tawm thiab kev cai.
"Lub MOD thiab nws cov tub ceev xwm, suav nrog feem ntau cov neeg ua haujlwm pej xeem ua haujlwm rau Ministry thiab nws cov koom haum subordinate, poob raws li kev cai ntawm Crown Immunity thiab yog li tsis raug rau kev tswj hwm ntawm Lub Chaw Haujlwm Ib puag ncig," tsab ntawv ceeb toom sau tseg.
Kev siv riam phom ntawm kev sib ntaus sib tua kuj tseem yuav tsim cov pa roj carbon ntau ntau, thiab muaj lwm yam kev cuam tshuam ib puag ncig, tab sis cov ntaub ntawv txaus los xam cov kev puas tsuaj no tsis muaj.
Tab sis tsab ntawv ceeb toom tau pom tias lub tsev cog khoom roj emissions ntawm MOD tau poob li ntawm 50% hauv 10 xyoo ntawm 2007-08 txog 2017-18. Cov laj thawj tseem ceeb yog vim li cas UK tau txo qhov loj ntawm nws cov tub rog ua haujlwm hauv Iraq thiab Afghanistan, thiab kaw cov tub rog hauv paus tom qab kev txiav nyiaj txiav txim los ntawm tsoomfwv David Cameron uas yog ib feem ntawm nws txoj cai "tsis muaj kev cia siab".
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm sib cav hais tias cov tub rog emissions tsis zoo li yuav poob ntau ntxiv nyob rau yav tom ntej, hais txog kev npaj yuav nce hauv kev siv tub rog, ntau dua kev siv lub zog siv tsheb xws li UK ob lub dav hlau tshiab, thiab nthuav dav ntawm cov tub rog txawv teb chaws.
"Tsuas yog qhov kev hloov pauv loj hauv UK cov tub rog lub tswv yim ... zoo li yuav ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam ib puag ncig qis, suav nrog [cov pa hauv tsev ntsuab] emissions tsawg," tsab ntawv ceeb toom hais.
Cov kev tshuaj ntsuam sib cav hais tias UK cov cai yuav tsum txhawb nqa "kev ruaj ntseg tib neeg" txoj hauv kev tsom mus rau kev daws kev txom nyem, kev noj qab haus huv, kev tsis sib xws thiab kev kub ntxhov ib puag ncig, thaum txo qis kev siv tub rog. "Qhov no yuav tsum suav nrog cov kev pabcuam 'kev hloov pauv riam phom' suav nrog txhua lub tuam txhab UK cuam tshuam, suav nrog nyiaj txiag rau kev cob qhia cov neeg ua haujlwm."
Lwm yam teeb meem tseem ceeb ntawm ib puag ncig raug tshuaj xyuas hauv daim ntawv tshaj tawm. MOD tau so haujlwm 20 lub nkoj siv hluav taws xob nuclear los ntawm kev pabcuam txij li xyoo 1980, txhua tus muaj cov khoom siv hluav taws xob loj loj - tab sis tseem tsis tau ua tiav qhov kev tshem tawm ntawm ib qho ntawm lawv.
Daim ntawv tshaj tawm suav tias MOD tseem xav tau pov tseg 4,500 tonnes ntawm cov khoom siv phom sij los ntawm cov nkoj nquam nkoj, nrog 1,000 tonnes yog qhov txaus ntshai tshwj xeeb. Txog rau xyoo 1983, MOD tsuas yog pov tseg cov hluav taws xob pov tseg los ntawm nws cov riam phom hauv hiav txwv.
MOD tsis kam tawm tswv yim.
