Why give $$$ and blood fighting the "War on Terror" when we are losing the war on Mother Nature?

8. I think that is the total energy expended |
|
over the entire time, unlike the energy from an atom bomb which is expended instantaneously. I could be wrong. Still a lot of energy tho.

11. it's more like 10-15 atomic bombs every second or so |
|
The area this is all happening in is vastly larger than an atomic bomb's blast radius, even the largest of them. The estimate is probably a mixture of kinetic energy from macroscopic motion and temperature.
