After seeing the destruction in Houston, and now St Maarten, plus the fires breaking out all over the West Coast and central US, this is a bigger threat to all of us than any number of terrorist groups like Al Qaeda or Boko Haram could ever do.

Hey maybe that's how we can get the GOP on our side - start calling mother nature a terrorist.

Also blacklisted is the scary locution “reduce greenhouse gases” – and here, the agency’s linguists have done an even better job of camouflage: the new and approved term is “increase nutrient use efficiency”.
