No, global warming is not sufficiently scary. In fact because it is not even close to being a reality the "Global Warming" guys started a campaign to change the label to "Climate change." It's like the big event fizzled out, so they have to position for global cooling --wait, it it 1980 again?-- Or, maybe it could be warming . . either way they are covered now with "Climate Change."

But all of that aside, there exists the "what are you going to do about it?" Q.

Terrorism: we can and are handling it.

Earth's temp: uhm, yeah, let's control the ball o'fussion in the sky. ...because you sure as hell are not going to change this planet's temp with "carbon credits."
