If you believe that a "man-made climate crisis" is dooming the planet...

The Trump Administration said:
Let's see.... demanding carbon footprint data from your own government vs. "the total destruction of the planet"...

Is that a difficult choice, in your opinion?

Unless, of course, you do not actually believe that "the total destruction of the planet as a result of man-made global warming" is real...

very dumb comment.

Well, in the case of missile propellants, most today are solid fuels and based primarily on nitrogen (far more energetic) than carbon so they really don't emit much. Same goes for the explosives used in them.

Is that so?

I was told that was "classified" and nobody but a Russian would want to know it.

The exact composition of the fuels can be, but most are already known. The big thing really isn't the fuel composition but the cross section used in casting it into the missile. That's the really critical and classified part, although older cross sections are known.

For example, some for the now obsolete Talos SAM are shown in this article.

Surely you don't mean to suggest that a leftist was uninformed, do you?

You can believe the science is deeply concerning and also believe the warhead’s contribution to the threat would be infinitesimal.

Can you?

BTW, I didn't single out the "warhead". What's its carbon footprint?

Do you believe "the planet faces an existential threat from man-made global warming"?

Yes, or no?

Do you have reading comprehension difficulty. I said you can.

No, I believe it’s smarter to follow the science than to ignore or dispute it. I know next to nothing about climate science. I can see you know nothing as well, but you’re making an idiotic attempt to debate the subject.

Yes, or no? Is the planet in imminent danger of destruction by "manmade climate change"?

Who said there'll be a total destruction of the planet?

We could start with CNN


Then move to (un) Scientific American

Our Fragile Earth: How Close Are We to Climate Catastrophe?

Lessons from past eras when Earth was a hothouse or a snowball tell us whether we are doomed by climate change or still have time to prevent that fate

And the so-called experts chime in:

Will climate change drive humans extinct or destroy civilization?

Almost certainly not—but unless we act quickly to stop warming the planet, there will be very severe consequences for many, many people. October 20, 2023

It seems you aren't able to read.

The amount and type of materials used in missiles is classified. The only way to calculate the carbon footprint is to know what is involved in building something. Since the design and manufacture are classified, you are asking to know classified information to calculate the carbon footprint of a classified missile.

So you say.

If you really believe that the planet in imminent danger of destruction by "man-made climate change", why aren't you demanding that the carbon footprints of the weapons our government sends to Ukraine be made public?
