Greenpeace founder who got atmospheric nuclear testing and international whaling stopped, Dr. Patrick Moore: Atmospheric C02 is now about 400, if it goes below 135, all life on earth dies. C02 has been 100's time higher, to the benefit of life.

Oceania is at war with Eurasia.
Down with EVs, up with SUVs. Coal is the new normal.
People are expendable.
Booming economies from wars, is a means towards an end, and the end justifies the means, because, a rising economy lifts all boats.
Long live wars!
(Failure has been noted of U.S. arms manufacturers to match Russia’s decisive development of hypersonic missiles.)
Hypersonic missiles are of dubious value. The US abandoned the program to develop them in the seventies. The reason? Unless you put a nuke on them, they don’t make financial sense. There’s no more expensive way to prosecute a target. The US still uses subsonic cruise missiles because they are much harder to detect and significantly more accurate for the price than any other option. They can literally hit a two-foot bullseye after traveling a thousand miles.
A hypersonic goes very high and will most likely be detected on launch. It then goes low and maneuvers. But the heat generated makes finding the target a thousand miles away very problematic. Sensors fail or become less accurate. Also, targets move, meaning they’re really only good against something that isn’t moving, due to the heat/sensor issues. Assuming they hit the target you have expended a huge amount of money to hit a single target.
I suspect the only reason the US has reactivated the program is because Congress insisted and funded it. Another problem with a fast missile is it must fly higher and Patriot has shot down several missiles in the hypersonic class because “low” to a hypersonic missile is not low enough to evade radar.
We only have 400 million artillery shells stockpiled. We only manufacture 28000 per month. In a real war it seems those stockpiled shells will go fast with no meaningful way to replace them.
