"Israeli Bombing in Gaza Exacerbates Climate Crisis with Massive Carbon Emissions"

Researchers have found that the carbon emissions generated during the first two months of the Gaza war exceeded the annual carbon footprint of over 20 climate-vulnerable nations, with U.S. cargo planes flying military supplies to Israel accounting for nearly half of the emissions. The destruction of renewable energy projects in Gaza has further exacerbated the climate crisis, impacting water and food security, as well as the health sector. The targeting of water and food supplies has been cited as evidence of genocidal intent, and the long-term climate impacts of war need to be considered alongside the immediate environmental destruction.
