Submission statement: War is collapse—social, environmental, economic, moral, and climactic collapse. This article details a study recently published by US and UK researchers finding that emissions from the first 60 days of Israel’s horrific bombardment of Gaza have exceeded the annual emissions of 20 small nations.
