RICE: We come together today because we agree that climate change is a real problem -- and that human beings are contributing to it. The best science tells us exactly this. Now, it is our responsibility as global leaders to forge a new international consensus on how to address climate change.
This test has much in common with the other great challenges that are defining this young century -- from weapons proliferation, to the spread of disease, to transnational terrorism. These are truly global problems, and no one nation, no matter how much power or political will it possesses, can succeed alone. We all need partners, and we all need to work in concert.

The next page after this 9 page section was, you guessed it, "Surge of Suicide Bombers".
It should be noted that MSNBC also ran with the Newsweek story by citing it and retitling it "The Truth About Denial". Nevermind that even one of the Newsweek editors stepped forward blasting the yellow-journalism story, because Newsweek is a direct affiliate of MSNBC.

Similar practice can be found in Al Gore's An Inconveneient Truth film promotional trailer and TV commercial, where he merges in less than 6 frames of a nuclear bomb blast which is completely out of context with his Global Warming presentation.

This is classic 'training' in Conditioned Reflexes. The idea is you learn to subconsciously associate one thing with another to elicit combined responses.

Indy: You write about catastrophic climate-change scenarios in which feedback loops cause global temperatures to climb many degrees and sea levels to rise by several meters. Is there a danger the problem will sound too depressing for people to take action?
Woolsey: That's part of the problem. That's one of the reasons to spur people to get going and tell them, even if they don't believe something like that could happen, they bloody well ought to believe that bin Laden can figure out how to get a dozen people with rifles and armor-piercing rounds to shoot a bunch of transformers and take a big chunk of the electricity grid down. They shouldn't have any trouble believing that.
That's kind of part of the whole thing. If you'd rather worry about terrorism than climate change, worry about terrorism. It'll lead you pretty much the same place.

That's about right. Like most things, it's all wrong but sounds about right. I gave you a star by the way.

A new profitable industry in gas masks and liquid oxygen?
