National Review: The Corner: For the Ecological Extremist, Civilization Is the Problem
The author argues that modern technology, specifically air conditioning, is a paradox of progress and a personal moral failure.

However, the idea that humanity would reject agriculture and return to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle is unconvincing. Some argue that humanity is a plague upon the earth and should be treated with a therapeutic regimen. These laments are seen as a form of romanticism that fails to acknowledge the benefits and progress of civilization.

Foreign Policy: NATO’s Northern Flank Has Too Many Weak Spots
Russia's invasion of Ukraine reveals weaknesses in NATO's strategic posture, particularly along its northern flank. Russia has exploited power-sharing relationships on Arctic and near-Arctic islands to expand its influence, with little resistance from Oslo or Copenhagen. Denmark's inability to effectively intervene in the presence of Russian fishing vessels in the Faroe Islands and Greenland's growing autonomy pose further vulnerabilities. Additionally, Canada's neglect of its defense capabilities in the Arctic leaves NATO vulnerable. A unified NATO arctic strategy and increased coordination with partner countries are necessary to defend the High North and prevent Russia and China from operating with near impunity.
