The Green Elephant in the Room: Solutions To Restoring the Health of People and the Living Planet

The Last War - Why Humanity's Oldest Problem is Finally Solving Itself (Part 2 of 2)

Season 8 Episode 116

Modern Warfare has Evolved Beyond Recognition                                                             From the clear battlefield lines of 1813 Leipzig to today's asymmetric conflicts, war has become a chaotic mix of cyber attacks, economic warfare, and endless urban conflicts that never truly end. The old rules of engagement have completely broken down.

War No Longer Makes Economic Sense                                                                                                   With global military spending approaching $2 trillion annually, modern conflicts cost far more than they could possibly deliver in benefits. Today's wealth comes from innovation and skilled workers—assets that can't be captured through conquest. Nuclear weapons have made direct conflict between major powers essentially impossible.

Military Forces are Devastating our Planet                                                                                       If the world's military organizations were a country, they'd rank as the 4th largest carbon polluter on Earth. Wars create ecological dead zones, drive species to extinction, and destroy the very natural systems we need for climate stability. We're literally destroying the resources we're fighting over.

The Solution is Already Working Worldwide                                                                       Countries like Canada, Ireland, Japan, and others prove that investing in people and environment instead of military expansion creates more prosperity and security. The $2 trillion spent on weapons could solve climate change, end extreme poverty, and build clean energy systems globally—all at the same time.
