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

Well, Ben Shapiro ... if we want to talk about such topic, let we check facts.
Picture 1: https://news.1rj.ru/str/IsraelWarBullshit/646
First, the fact that @GretaThunbergTelegram is just supporting Palestine is not the best, since Palestine is still not innocent! like we shared many facts previously.
Second, about the 💩 influence of wars we already posted many things. You can find links here https://news.1rj.ru/str/IsraelWarBullshit/545
Now, related to Palestine vs Israel.
First we need to remember that Palestine is a poor country! means it's obviously the CO2 pollution is less than Israel ...
https://news.1rj.ru/str/IsraelWarBullshit/562
Related to CO2 we already shared previously, but let we share such things again. Especially we said that Arabian countries are one of the worst

Areas with the highest irrigation demand are concentrated in Southern Spain, South West France, the Po Valley and Apulia region in Italy, Western and South Eastern regions of Turkey, the Nile River Basin and the coastal areas of most Eastern and Southern Mediterranean countries. As the quantity of CO2 emitted is directly related to the volume of water demanded, areas with the highest CO2 emissions coincide with those having the highest water demand.
Nationally, Spain, Syria and Turkey have the largest CO2 emissions for irrigation (figure 4) whilst Libya, Israel and Algeria have the highest emissions per unit of water applied (figure 5).
Israel: In 2019, oil held a 42% share of the energy mix, natural gas accounted for 35%, and coal had a 20% share, while renewable energies held a share of around 3% (IEA, 2020a).
Out of 34 Mt CO2 emissions from electricity and heat generation, 54% are caused by coal, 45% by gas and 1% by oil.
