Probably you are right with the latter. A cement brick house easily has 100 tons CO². And in war, whole cities get destroyed. Plus destruction of enemy energy infrastructure, like oil fields, if existant.
Kind of sad now, when I think about it. Looks like we rather destroy the enemy with us, than having somebody we don’t like rise above us.
Uh, I’ve actually seen it. It’s located in Cambodia in the Ta Prom temple (also called Tomb Raider Temple, because they filmed parts of the movie there). It’s a beautiful temple just a couple of km East of Angkor Wat.
I’ve heard that archeologists believe it depicts a water buffalo with some leaves in the background.
Until today water buffalos are being held as work animals to carry stuff, pull weagons and plow fields.
