You will never hear me under-estimating Bush on national security
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008With yet another report saying that global warming is a severe national security threat, you will NEVER hear me underestimating George W. Bush’s ability in the national security field.
Who else could:
lie us into a war against a fabricated national security threat
actively deny a real, documented on (i.e., global warming)
bankrupt us through 1 so that we […]
Iowa floods, systems thinking, and global warming
Monday, June 16th, 2008There’s no direct causality, but you can’t convince me that the devastating Iowa floods aren’t at least in part due to global warming.
In my book, that’s yet another indictment of the current administration’s failure to think in terms of systems, and their failure to act sooner on global warming is already having a devastating impact […]

IMHO, this could be the critical link in achieving the dream I discussed in my […]

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007No, I’m not going to recite the numbers on military losses in Iraq, nor the cost of that miserable adventure. Today’s numbers on how we’re losing the battle against terrorism — not to mention the battle for the hearts and minds of the rest of the word, come not from the battlefield, but the offices […]
Global warming as national security issue? Old news here!
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007(this is one of the events that transpired while I was incommuniblogicato that I’ll be addressing belatedly because of its importance)…
The news that Director of Intelligence McConnell is has decided it is “entirely appropriate” that the intelligence community do a comprehensive intelligence estimate on the “geopolitical and security implications of global climate change” comes as […]
