The Price of War on Climate Pollution
From Scientific American June 2024 - Warfare’s Climate Emissions Are Huge but Uncounted. Nations aren't required to report their military climate pollution under the Paris Agreement. Experts say that should change.
With the world experiencing the highest degree of conflict since WWII, and countries not obliged to report emissions related to military activities, researchers estimate that these emissions could represent as much as 5.5 % of global climate pollution. But that could be a huge underestimate.
The National Observer - Canada's fossil fuel exported emissions leapt to more than a billion tonnes last year
From the National Observer Nov 13, 2024 - Federal data shows that greenhouse gas emissions from Canadian exports of coal, oil and gas to other countries surpassed a billion tonnes last year. This represents more than double Canada's total emissions!
"The staggering sum is a new threshold for Canada that reveals a significant gap between domestic and international climate action. Since 2012, Canada’s domestic emissions have fallen about 6%, from 744 megatonnes (Mt) of CO2e to 702 MT last year. Over the same period, exported emissions from fossil fuels have grown 58%, from 651.7 Mt to 1029.9 Mt."
