I wonder how much of the emissions are caused by the ongoing wars. I suspect that manufacturing weapons and the destruction would create significant emissions.
Well considering there are study’s going over this just have to google some and the US military does not report its C02 emissions it’s not required too it doesn’t even follow international laws because we are not a signatory but if we did include are military co2 emission we would be the “single biggest institutional consumer of hydrocarbons on the planet.” And that is a quote from the study. We also use 270,000 barrels of oil a day for are military.
I imagine death is probably a bigger concern
