Forwarded from Carbon dioxide (CO2) Facts on Telegram by GRT : the true behind global greenhouse gas emissions / planet pollution
Defence generated over 500 Mt CO2e in 2019, accounting for ~1.1% of total global emissions. These emissions were mainly distributed among air forces (~20–25%), navies (~30–35%), and armies (~30–35%), with a small proportion coming from other military bodies, such as border patrols and coast guards.
Whilst the footprint of air forces and navies is driven by emissions from air and sea platforms respectively, armies’ footprint is dominated by emissions from bases and other stationary assets, whilst a country’s emissions pro le may vary signi cantly depending on whether or not it is actively engaged in a war. From the more than 500 Mt CO2e generated by Armed Forces globally, approximately one third is likely to be sequestered by the vast amount of land owned by the military (2–3% of the world’s total land).
Defence’s share of global emissions is comparable with that of civil aviation and maritime transport. However, military emissions could contribute up to 5% of the global footprint (as referenced in the aforementioned Nature paper), placing Armed Forces footprint over the level of cement production.
~97% of emissions from mobile assets are generated during the operation of military platforms, which are mainly driven by the high number of moderately- emitting active assets—as is the case of the Army’s land vehicles—or by the operation of a lower number of highly-emitting vehicles, such as the air and the sea platforms of the Air Force and the Navy.
The US has the biggest military in the world, and we estimate that the footprint of its stationary assets and platforms’ operations account for ~20% of global Defence emissions—roughly 110 MtCO2e. Meanwhile, we estimate that the UK’s armed forces produce ~5 MtCO2e, which translates to ~1% of global military emissions.
In 2022, the US Air Force introduced the Department’s Climate Action Plan, and at the opening ceremony of last year’s NATO summit announced an organisational cut in emissions for its members of 45% by 2030 and a net-zero target by 2050

Seit Beginn der Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert nehmen Treibhausgase in der Atmosphäre durch menschliche Aktivitäten stark zu. Hauptgründe sind das Verbrennen von Kohle, Erdöl und Erdgas, die intensive Landwirtschaft, das Verschwinden von grossen Waldflächen und Mooren sowie die Änderung der Bodennutzung. In den letzten gut 150 Jahren ist zum Beispiel der Kohlendioxidgehalt der Atmosphäre um fast 50 Prozent gestiegen, von etwa 280 ppm (CO2-Teilchen pro Million Luftmoleküle) auf 419 ppm (Stand Januar 2023). So hoch war der CO2-Gehalt in den letzten zwei Millionen Jahren noch nie.
Die starke Erwärmung hat Auswirkungen auf viele weitere Klimagrössen in der Schweiz. So steigt die Nullgradgrenze deutlich an. Als Folge haben die Alpengletscher seit 1850 über 60 Prozent ihres Volumens verloren. Sie dürften bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts fast ganz aus dem Alpenbild verschwunden sein. Die Vegetationsperiode dauert heute im Flachland mehrere Wochen länger als noch in den 1960er Jahren. Durch die Erwärmung fällt Niederschlag häufiger als Regen statt als Schnee. Die Anzahl der Schneetage hat vor allem in tiefen Lagen deutlich abgenommen. Die Winterniederschläge hingegen haben in den letzten gut 150 Jahren zugenommen. Die Sonnenscheindauer hat zwischen 1950 und 1980 abgenommen, steigt seit 1980 aber wieder an.
Durch den Klimawandel wird das Wetter auch in der Schweiz extremer. So sind Hitzewellen deutlich häufiger und intensiver geworden. Kälteperioden treten hingegen deutlich seltener auf. Die Anzahl Frosttage und Eistage nimmt ab, und Seegfrörnen treten auf grösseren Seen kaum mehr auf ...

Given its extensive institutional infrastructure and operations, both domestically and overseas, the US military consumes more liquid fuels and emits more CO2e than many medium‐sized countries.
In 2017, the US military purchased about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted 25,375.8 kt‐CO2e by burning those fuels. If the US military were a country, it would nestle between Peru and Portugal in the global league table of fuel pur- chasing, when comparing 2014 World Bank country liquid fuel consumption with 2015 US military liquid fuel consumption.
For 2014, the scale of emissions is roughly equivalent to total – not just fuel – emissions from Romania. According to our DLA‐E data indirect or mobile sources, and electricity use, and other indirect, including upstream and downstream emissions, the US military is the 47th largest emitter of GHG in the world, if only taking into account the emission from fuel usage.
This paper specifically examines military fuel usage for the US post-9/11 wars and the impact of that fuel usage on greenhouse gases emissions. The best estimate of US military greenhouse gas emissions from 2001, when the wars began with the US invasion of Afghanistan, through 2017, is that the US military has emitted 1,212 million metric tons of greenhouse gases (measured in CO2equivalent, or CO2e). In 2017, for example, the Pentagon’s greenhouse gas emissions were greater than the greenhouse gas emissions of entire industrialized countries as Sweden or Denmark.
DOD emissions for all military operations from 2001 to 2017 are estimated to be about 766 million metric tons of CO2e.
New estimate: global military is responsible for more emissions than Russia https://perma.cc/3B2U-5ECD
