North Korea says missile test aimed at testing carrying large nuclear warhead: KCNA

North Korea said on Monday it had successfully conducted a mid-to-long range missile test on Sunday supervised by leader Kim Jong Un which was aimed at verifying the capability to carry a "large scale heavy nuclear warhead."

The missile was launched at the highest angle so as not to affect the security of neighboring countries and flew 787 kilometers reaching an altitude of 2,111.5 kilometers, the North's official KCNA news agency reported.

I am very upset about the fact that each test accelerates global warming 10 fold.

No matter how prudent we are with saving our environment/earth.....this creep destroys what good we have done in one launch. I wish I could find out how much one of these missile launches contributes to the global warming equation.
