Military Emissions
A new report finds that if all the world’s combined militaries were a country, they would have the fourth-highest carbon footprint, right behind China, the United States and India. The ongoing war on Ukraine by Russia, and the increasing number of military exercises being conducted around the world, are only adding to the war industry’s contribution to the mounting climate crisis.
Scientists for Global Responsibility and the Conflict and Environment Observatory say that while it is very difficult to precisely determine the total greenhouse gases being emitted by the military, their study finds that its total carbon footprint is approximately 5.5% of all global emissions.
