A disturbing analysis appears in the latest Guardian piece by Nina Lakhani: the impact of the emissions caused by the war in Gaza on the climate level is enormous. This research, while still awaiting peer review, sheds a sharp light on the environmental consequences of armed conflict, an aspect too often overlooked in the international climate change debate. The most remarkable fact is that only during the first two months of the war greenhouse gas emissions greater than the annual carbon footprint of more than 20 countries most at risk from climate change have been produced,  as stated in the article: Most of the carbon dioxide produced can be attributed to Israel's aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza”. According to the study, the climate impact of the first 60 days of the Israeli military response is equivalent to burning at least 150,000 tons of coal : " This study is just a snapshot of the larger wartime boot print… a partial picture of the massive carbon emissions and broader toxic pollutants that will remain long after the fighting is over. " says Benjamin Neimark, co-author of the research. The asymmetry between emissions produced by Israel and those produced by Hamas rockets is evident. While Hamas rockets produced approximately 713 tons of CO ₂ , which corresponds to approximately 300 tons of coal, almost half of the total CO emissions ₂ can be attributed by an American cargo flight carrying military supplies to Israel.
