The 1 % Doctrine?
The Bush administration has what is called the 1% doctrine. If they hear of a terror threat, and judge that it has a 1% chance of being legitimate, then they take all precautions. Fine. If man-made Global Warming has a 1% chance of being a real threat, shouldn't we take precautions?
