Weapon Of Mass Destruction
Climate scientist John Houghton says that global warming kills more people than terrorism while President George Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair do nothing.
"If political leaders have one duty above all others, it is to protect the security of their people. Thus it was, according to the prime minister, to protect Britain's security against Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction that this country went to war in Iraq. And yet our long-term security is threatened by a problem at least as dangerous as chemical, nuclear or biological weapons, or indeed international terrorism: human-induced climate change."
