Wars’ devastating Impact On Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights the environmental fallout of the Iran-Israel conflict. Drawing parallels with Ukraine and Gaza, he points out that war zones can become major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Notably, the U.S. Department of Defense itself ranks among the top emitters—surpassing some nations. If the conflict widens, McIntyre warns it may become the most significant emissions driver in the region.
