This is quite simply not feasible.
Firstly - to the best of my knowledge, the highest per-capita polluters are western countries such as the US and Australia. Ignoring the latter, can you really imagine the developing world taking on the US here?
Second reason... It seems likely that the environmental cost of war (unless it is a very small scale one) may be quite high. So best to avoid that IMHO.
