Happy Thought For Today: Global Terror vs. Global Warming

November 16, 2005 by Don Radlauer 2 Comments

Seth Cooper over at the Guns and Butter Blog takes issue with Al Gore’s statement that “on a long-term global basis, global warming [and not terrorism] is the most serious problem we are facing.” Here is most of his post: I disagree with Gore. On a long-term basis, we are faced with a far more […]
