The planet-warming emissions generated during the first two months of the war in Gaza were greater than the annual carbon footprint of more than 20 of the world’s most climate-vulnerable nations, according to research released in early this year. With nearly 14 months to Israel's genocidal war, environmental ecological destruction has reached to unprecedented level. The vast majority (over 99 percent) of the 281,000 metric tons (MT) of carbon dioxide (CO2 equivalent) estimated to have been generated in the first 60 days following the October 7 Hamas attack can be attributed to Israel’s aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis by researchers in the UK and US, reports Mother Jones. According to the study, which is based on only a handful of carbon-intensive activities and is therefore probably a significant underestimate, the climate cost of the first 60 days of Israel’s military response was equivalent to burning at least 150,000 MT of coal, it concludes.
