Gore's call to «make peace with the

conditions must be treated now — militization trumps civilization in the headlines
of today and tomorrow — if the truth is that both global warming everywhere and global warring anywhere are linked in the human biosphere, and if that truth is inconvenient to Mr Gore and the civilian scope
of his campaign against global warming, lethal consequences for both humans and
other species will continue — in cinematic terms, the great «An Inconvenient Truth» must be blended and coordinated with the great «Why We Fight»

conditions an average is meaningless — you really need to dream up some more dire alarmist nonsense to keep your show on the road.
