摘要
Any country may win the war, but the nature not even being a party, is always at looser end. The war ends up with great loss to environment, nature, natural resources and humanity. War-time military operations, mock drill or domestic assignments like insurgencies, riots, violence, etc., have irreversible and paramount impact on concentration of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, NOx etc.), suspended particulate matter, ecological footprint and climate change. With the invention of newer weapons of mass destruction of biological, chemical or mechanical nature, the chances of losing the humanity and life support system from blue planet are more pronounced. The existence of life on mother earth is in great danger speaking loudly to stop the war or war will stop us. Our today's actions will leave its signature on ecosystem health and life quality in future. Climate change is silently galloping number of species from the planet. Being non-pathogenic, it cannot be treated through vaccination but can easily overcome by adopting eco-friendly life style. World needs solution-oriented, transdisciplinary science-based social movement for improving the planetary health.
