Global warming caused by war
Here’s an enhanced explanation of how much CO₂—and more broadly, greenhouse gases (GHGs)—are emitted by wars and military activities: Global Military Emissions (Routine Operations, Excluding Active Warfare) The military sector worldwide is responsible for approximately 5.5% of global GHG emissions , which includes CO₂ and other gases The Nation Wikipedia . In CO₂ terms alone, that amounts to around 2,050 million tonnes (MtCO₂) annually Scientists for Global Responsibility ceobs.org . More conservative estimates put operational military emissions at about 500 MtCO₂e , or 1% of global GHG emissions , while the overall military footprint (including production, logistics, etc.) reaches 2,750 MtCO₂e , which corresponds to 5.5% of global GHG emissions ceobs.org . U.S. Military-Specific Emissions In fiscal year 2021, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) emitted 51 million metric t...
