Think about all those explosions, smoke, noxious fumes, burning oil and gas, tons of exhaust from tanks and every kind of vehicle.
WHAT A WASTE huh?

Explosions, smoke, debris, etc would have a net cooling effect because particulate matter of this sort generally refelcts heat. NOx fumes created by the detonation of ordinance would also have a cooling effect. All of this would need to be wighed vs. totaloutput of CO2 from all sources in combat.
My guess would be that war is climate neutral in terms of particulate and CO2 emissions.
For those that think the planet is over populated, the deaths of each combatant means lfewer people and lesser energy consumption. So in that respect, war could be a positive factor in helping fight global warming.

No, Liberals who use the computer 24 hours a day trying to convince everyone that "global warming" is real contribute much more from the power required to run their machines.

and one upmanship has made it's mark too, and greed has gotten out of hand. Did you ever think it would be nice if God just gave those greedy people one hard thump on the head?

Large, yes. Enormous, no.
Nothing can top cars, power plants, and factories, because there are so many of them.
Wars are, relatively speaking, much smaller. Fortunately.
