Original Note:
The article says the war in Gaza has generated 281,000 tonnes of carbon and describes this as an “environmental catastrophe”, but for context the 2016 Rio Olympics generated 3,600,000 tonnes. https://www.paralympic.org/news/rio-2016-launches-carbon-footprint-report-games Also 281,000 tons is just 0.0008% of the global annual total of 34bn tonnes. https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions
