Comforting to know that American military monitoring of threats from North Korea and China is in the competent hands of General Bran Flake:
America's top military officer in charge of monitoring hostile actions by North Korea, escalating tensions between China and Japan, and a spike in computer attacks traced to China provides an unexpected answer when asked what is the biggest long-term security threat in the Pacific region: climate change.
“The ice is melting and sea is getting higher…”
Yes, strap on your snorkels and head ye for the hills, for lo, the threat of seawater rising at 2 inches per century is greater than all the threats and nuclear missiles emanating from Pyongyang and Beijing.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
