Doomsdazed.(Letters)(Letter to the Editor)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT analysis of "doomsday" ("Rethinking Doomsday," November/December 2004). I do think there is one "weapon of mass destruction" that is regularly left off everyone's list, however: the U.S. economy and its impact--combined with that of other highly industrialized nations--on humanity and the global ecosystem.
As Scientific American explained last year, rapid climate change, although unpredictable, is increasingly likely, as a result of global warming. And rapid change, measured not in centuries but in decades, would exacerbate the significant suffering already experienced by the vast majority of the world as a result of the economic dislocations brought about by enforced globalization.
It is time to discuss all the threats that we, as a species, face. To allow global stresses to build is to invite destruction. Whether it is frustrated, angry people with weapons or nature herself that initiates chaos, we should take steps to ameliorate the causes instead of trying to defend against them.
