The ongoing genocides in Gaza and Sudan, wars in Ukraine, Iran and elsewhere pour tens of millions of tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere through fuel-guzzling jets, tanks, bombs, and reconstruction. Every missile fired, every drone launched, every city reduced to rubble accelerates the very climate breakdown that makes these heatwaves deadlier. War is not separate from the climate crisis — it is one of its most vicious engines.

 Yet the real climate warriors understand the connection. The struggle against fossil capitalism is inseparable from the fight against imperialism and colonialism. From the Niger Delta to the Amazon, from Standing Rock to Palestine, frontline communities are resisting both the extraction of their lands and the militarized violence that protects it. True climate justice demands an end to both the burning of fossil fuels and the wars that secure their dominance.
