thebalanced.newsAnalysis Estimates Five Million Tonnes of CO2 Emitted in Two Weeks of US-Israel Conflict with Iran
A recent climate-focused analysis estimates that the US-Israel conflict with Iran has released approximately five million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions over two weeks, surpassing the combined emissions of 84 countries. The destruction of around 20,000 civilian buildings contributed an estimated 2.4 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Additional emissions stem from destroyed oil facilities, military equipment losses, and fuel consumption by aircraft and naval fleets. Experts highlight the environmental impact, including toxic acid rain and accelerated depletion of the global carbon budget.
