The Ball Will Soon Be Rolling

I figured out how to bring the Pentagon's global warming report into the U.S. news media stream. Put Gene Weingarten on it. Okay, he hasn't answered the questions below (yet!) but I'm sure he will.

Hi Gene,

A nutty organization did a study recently that said that climate change is a far worse problem than terrorism, and it may wreak catastrophic havoc in twenty years from now. Okay, the nutty organization is the Pentagon, and the defense chiefs covered it up until it was leaked to the British press a few days ago. A few questions:

1. Does The Washington Post feel snubbed? You guys are in the Pentagon's back yard. A mere RPG launch away. Britain is a whole MX-80 away! And that's assuming the SDR satellite system holds up for the transatlantic flight. What ever happened to taking care of your home dogs?

2. Um, why isn't the U.S. news media talking about this? It's like going in for an oil change and finding out your car may spontaneously combust in the next year. "But did you change the oil?"

3. I apologize in advance if you post this question. I made the missile and satellite system names up, and I am sure you will make many emails about how you post an email from someone so stupid as to not know the difference between an MX-80 and a IBM-45x, jackass. You don't have to take their criticism for me, although I would like to mention I am a home dog.

3a. Same thing for the IBM-45x. I think it's the name of the first computer I bought, 20 years ago. "Now with more 'X' power!"

4. WHY IS NO ONE IN THE U.S. MEDIA TALKING ABOUT THIS?!!!!
