5 Mn Tonnes Of Carbon Dioxide Released In First 14 Days

West Asia’s ongoing conflict is not only reshaping geopolitics and global energy markets but also leaving a significant environmental footprint. In just the first 14 days, nearly 5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide are estimated to have been released due to military activity. While attention has largely focused on fuel prices, inflation, and supply chains, experts warn that the climate cost of warfare remains deeply underreported. From missile strikes to high-emission military operations, the environmental impact adds a new and often overlooked dimension to modern conflict.
