Get Out The Duct Tape!
Remember way back in the halcyon days of the WoT(War on Terrah)?
What was the drill again? Stop, duct tape, and blubber? Well maybe not precisely, but close enough for Department of Homeland Security(DHS) work ;)
Well, I know that this is going to come as a shock to you all, but there is a segment of the population that believes that the DHS guidelines are woefully inadequate.
No! It is not the choir at the Rapture Ready bulletin board!
It's those pointy heads at the Federation of American Scientists. The nerve of those people. They issued a press release and launched webpages mocking those of our beloved DHS.
The FAS folks count 'extreme heat' amongst their list of natural disasters. Apparently some folks think that this could be a real issue in the near future.
The FAS is far ahead of the politicos in taking global climate change seriously. This is a welcome development.
Can terrorists kill some people? Sure. Can terrorists end civilization as we know it? No. Unless they score the nukes of the US or Russia. Climate change, on the other hand, can accomplish what the terrorists cannot.
Bravo, FAS! Now that Kansas has re-entered the 21st century, maybe, just maybe, we'll have some real action on the climate front.
I am not however, holding my breath.
