Quite apart from the fact that wars tend not to go the way that the aggressors predict (Afghanistan comes to mind...) war is massively carbon intensive. I get your point about tragedy of the commons, but going to war about it is probably a good deal worse than doing nothing. I have so many questions too - who's going to go to war? What or who are they going to fight? It's such a strange idea.

Speaking of the war: the Afghan conflict cost somewhere in the region of $1tn.
Counterfactual, but I wonder how much that money would do for fighting climate change.
