Abstract

Our commentary picks up on Mikko Joronen's use of the interface between weather and the earth to frame his account of Israel's violent appropriation of Palestinian space. Taking a more general approach, we propose that modern warfare moves between the Earth system and geological strata. Our main concern is the way climate change is stirring up and redistributing the wastes of war both spatially and temporally. In conversation with Joronen's case study, we speculate about the dire convergence between massive bombardment and escalating climate change in the Gaza Strip.
