Warfare Emerges As Leading Cause Of Climate Damage

David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discuss how modern warfare has emerged as one of the world’s most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. As military technology advances—bringing more drones, rockets, and fuel-intensive logistics—the environmental toll grows sharply. They compare it to wildfires, where one catastrophic event can erase years of emissions progress. The conversation also touches on the difficulty of keeping climate issues in the media spotlight amid global conflict.
