Global warming presents more of a threat than all terrorist and military threats throughout history combined, but the USA refuses to act because it might cost money or be inconvenient. I don’t imagine anyone refused to defend against Japan in WW II on grounds it would cost money or be inconvenient. The problem is the term global warming sounds so benign and Hollywood has played wolf so many times before that the public think of global warming as not even as serious as killer bees or the end of the Mayan calender in 2012.
