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.
