"The US and Israel's bombardment of Iran and southern Lebanon has caused a humanitarian and environmental toll, with threats of further escalation set to add to these casualties as well as add more planet-heating emissions and destroy drinking water supplies."
"Countries that have invested in clean energy like solar and wind will be better placed and will weather this. But president Trump has rejected that approach, which just makes us more vulnerable."
"Scientists have repeatedly warned that the world must urgently transition away from fossil fuels to avoid the disastrous consequences of an increasingly overheated planet."
"The environmentalists, I mean, they are terrorists, the president said. They are terrorists. I call them environmental terr."
The US and Israel's military actions against Iran have led to significant humanitarian and environmental consequences, including increased fossil fuel emissions and rising energy costs. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global oil supplies, costing consumers over $100 billion. Experts emphasize the importance of transitioning to clean energy for national security, as countries investing in renewables are better positioned to handle such crises. Despite warnings from scientists, Trump has continued to support fossil fuels, dismissing environmental concerns.
