I think the arctic is the best place to talk about that intersection of climate stress and security. And in many ways the arctic is telling us, actually, both polar regions are telling us theyre under the most dramatic stress as the arctic certainly is warming two to three times faster than any place on the planet. And in many ways we are now dealing with a very new ocean. In fact, our former coast guard commandant called the arctic americas fourth coast.

Backlog was growing in the Second Quarter thats according to tesla. Thats proof that theres not a demand issue here. Also, the companys guidance has not been lowered the bears counter that by saying, yeah, but they didnt reaffirm guidance. They could have done that yesterday. They did not do that also, there were details regarding these deliveries that were lacking in terms of how many went to china, how many went to europe, a few other details people would like, and they also point out that the margins are likely to be under pressure when the q2 financials come out later this month. Thats why most of the analysts reports, it basically comes down to this, the analysts reports essentially say these are numbers that support the idea that you can lower expectations for the Second Quarter, but fullyear numbers youve got to hang onto whether or not you buy into them being lowered from where they are right now in terms of the loss expected. Phil, thank you joining us now, cofounder and early

So i would have one thing and i know we probably have to get out of here soon, but the sand tom mentioned in the men we write about and its all men because of the wars the grit in my almost two decades downrange in hellholes around the world, i see the same and the same grit in the men and now women who are fighting for us today and have fought for us since 2001. And we should all be very proud of that. So i guess that ends it. So thank you very much. Welcome to International Security studies at Yale Universitys Jackson Institute for Global Affairs.
