“…The average global temperature is increasing beyond expectations in last few decades. For the survival of life on this planet, there is a dire need to achieve the net neutrality and decabonization by carbon sequestration and sharp reduction in fossil fuel consumption [ 3 ]. Like any war, Russia–Ukraine conflict has paramount political, economical, social and environmental impact at local, regional and global level with potential disastrous implications.…”

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 (CO 2 , CH 4 , NO x 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 nonpathogenic, 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.

“…The adverse health consequences of air pollution are well-addressed in the epidemiologic literature [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] ]. There is hard evidence of a positive correlation between air pollution and global warming [ 15 ] air pollution is therefore at the heart of policy-making [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…The greenhouse effect of carbonization leads to a slow yet inexorable rise in the average temperature of the planet [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. We must emphasize that, nowadays, we are observing not merely a rise in average temperature but an accelerated rise [ 29 , 30 ].…”

Few analytical or research works claim that the negative impact of improper use of ASEs may be comparable with that of hydrocarbons and sometimes even greater. It has become a common view that “green” energy (ASE) is clean, safe and environmentally friendly (eco-friendly) in contrast with “black” energy (hydrocarbons). We analyzed 144 works on systemic and/or comparative research of the modern and prospective ASE: biofuels, hydrogen, hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, solar power, geothermal power, oceanic thermal power, tidal power, wind wave power and nuclear fusion power. We performed our analysis within the Spaceship Earth paradigm. We conclude that there is no perfect ASE that is always eco-friendly. All ASEs may be dangerous to the planet considered as a closed and isolated unit (“spaceship”) if they are used in an inconsistent manner. This is not in the least a reason to deny them as prospective sources of energy. Using all ASEs in different proportions in various regions of the planet, where their harm to the planet and humanity can be minimized and, on the contrary, their efficiency maximized, would give humanity the opportunity to decarbonize the Earth, and make the energy transition in the most effective way.
