Thank you! I remeber seeing cartoons from that period characaturing Darwin with an ape-like face.

THe world was flat at one time. Galaleo was threatened with torture - yet with all the evidence regarding climatic change - this is yellow journalism.

It could be propaganda - could be the DOD selling us more fear, but trying to mask the con by pretending to hide it.

I can see Rummy: "now we know the WMD thingie didn't pan out - but we got more reasons for ruffeling you're xenophobe feathers than you can shake a weapons inspector at. Those third worldies will come over here and steal all our girlfriends and pickup trucks when this climate-change thing kicks in! We need more weapons to fight the threat of climate change on the american way of life":)
