Why is there nothing in this essay about the immensity of the emissions and toxins generated by the militaries of the world and their inevitable wars, with the United States in the lead? The Pentagon is the single largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gasses. The wars in Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza have already "created" two new "countries" composed of emissions. Military industrial production uses huge amounts of metals, minerals, energy and other resources we need to respond to the climate crisis. Why this huge omission from your analysis?

One simply cannot cover all aspects and keep articles to a reasonable length. If you scroll back you will find many articles on Gaza as well as militarism, including this recent piece. https://open.substack.com/pub/theraven/p/how-working-for-place-based-solutions?r=36q38&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
