At a time when we should be spending the vast majority of time, money, and energy averting global climate disaster. :-(

It's already too late to avert the consequences of climate change. The amount of dedicated resources necessary would be orders of magnitude larger than what is being used in Ukraine.

So your saying we'd only need to stop 10 or 100 military activities, and take that amount of resource and we could solve this? Totally Win-Win! Wonderful!

If civilizez countries were to cut majority of their military spending, it wouldn't result in a win-win for all. Eg. Ukraine.
