Al Gore and "An Inconvenient Truth"

TalkLeft: The Politics of Crime:

"He mentioned 9/11 a few times, but he always put the terrorist threats behind the environmental ones. That's reassuring to those (myself included) who think the Bush Administration is milking the terror threat for political purposes. Is there a terror threat, yes. But is it our biggest crisis or challenge? Probably not. "

Uh huh. Environmental threats are greater than terrorist threats. Why can the left - and especially the environmental left - place such conviction on the the power of man to wield such environmental destruction, but not recognize that the greater threat to man is another who doesn't value life as highly as the rest of civilization?
