Coffee Break: Armed Madhouse – Weapons Fetishism: When the Tools of War no Longer Serve Strategic Ends
Modern military institutions continue to invest enormous resources in tanks, crewed aircraft, aircraft carriers, and missile defense systems even as technological change challenges their strategic utility. Cultural prestige, reputational inertia, and institutional interests sustain weapons programs long after their original justifications have weakened. The resulting cult of weaponry can subordinate national security objectives to the preservation of increasingly questionalble military capabilities.

The strongest El Niño in a thousand years?
This is a re-post from The Climate Brink Earlier this summer I told a journalist that it was not beyond the realm of possibility that this year’s El Niño would end up the strongest in 500 or even 1,000 years. That was a strong claim at the time, and I’ve had a few people ask how I could possibly know what El Niño was doing in the year 1200. It is a fair question, and the answer is that we know more than you might think. This year’s El Niño event is already the strongest in the instrumental record based on N
