Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick....

In this article, 'The end of the West as we know it?', Writer Anatol Lieven of the New America Foundation makes the case that people like me are overly obsessed with Islamic terrorism, which he calls a relative minor nuisance in comparison to the greater threat of global warming. As readers of this site know, I tend to dismiss global warming as a passing religious fad, like the many cults of the 1970's. Of course, since the degree and impact of global warming is largely a wild guessing game that involves grave 'Chicken Little'-like predictions of doom and gloom from folks with a political agenda, I have difficulty signing on to that movement. None the less, since global warming is impossible to definitively disprove (like the Loch-ness Monster and alien body snatchers from outer space), and it is hard to deny that we are currently undergoing a certain warming trend, naturally induced or not. So in that sense, I found Mr. Lieven's article an interesting read and worthy of a post on this site.
