It has occurred to me that 911 and global warming are similar in that what the public gets is soundbite pronouncements instead of close coverage of complex and highly technical investigations. People are just not buying it, nor should they.
Global warming is a wonderful distraction from the complex and frightening problems revealed by 9/11. Many Americans who are finding that a War on Terror is just too hard to understand and too terrible to contemplate grasp on to the global warming "crisis". Since those who resist a War on Terror have no real alternative beyond paying ransome money to monsters it's so much easier to fret about the weather and try and effect change through the usual liberal way (lawsuits, taxation, deprivation). So like children, they'll worry more about the warming coming out of an SUV's tailpipe than the warming from a thermonuclear detonation. Why it's almost childlike in its simplicity...got it? C I knew U Can?
