""The first two weeks of the U.S. and Israel's war on Iran released a deluge of carbon emissions equivalent to the combined yearly climate warming pollution output of the lowest 84 emitters in the world.""
""The largest cause of emissions in the report is the destruction of homes and buildings, which has resulted in nearly 2.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.""
""No matter which of the many reasons Trump has since provided for attacking Iran, the US intervention in Iran is now clearly about oil, plunging the Middle East into another crisis and deepening the social, economic, and environmental costs of war.""
The U.S. and Israel's war on Iran released over 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the first two weeks. This amount exceeds the annual emissions of mid-sized economies like Iceland and Kuwait. The destruction of homes and buildings was the largest contributor, accounting for nearly 2.5 million tonnes of emissions. Researchers analyzed various data sources to assess the impact of the conflict on carbon emissions, linking it to broader environmental and social costs associated with war.
