Wars generate vast amounts of CO₂, but fossil fuels are the driving force behind modern conflict. Oil is not only the leading cause of climate change, its also the leading cause of conflict. Oil doesn’t just fuel these wars; it is weaponized as strategic leverage, with control over supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz influencing both the conflict and the global economy.
Would be interesting to see the other side of the equation. How much oil and LNG is not being extracted by GCC countries due to the blockade of the strait? And how much of that is not replaced by other sources, thus reducing the CO2 output instead of e.g. using coal power plants, making even more CO2? I expect that due to the price changes and possible economy crash, oil consumption will be reduced a few percent for a few months. One more: how do electric car sales react to the price changes?
