I suppose you could call everything produced by man weapons of environmental destruction, but that doesn't make it very useful.

You dilute the meaning of the word at that point. Weapons are specific tools that are used with intent to cause harm. If something happens to cause harm without intent, and you define it as a weapon, the word becomes useless.
