Shame on us if 100 years from now our grandchildren are living on a planet that has been irreparably damaged by Global Warming, and they ask, 'How could those who came before us, who saw this coming, have let this happen?'

The threat of nuclear terrorism is growing faster than our ability to prevent an attack on our homeland.
