Normally, in media accounts, you hear about the Pentagon budget and the war-fighting supplementary funds passed by Congress for our conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. That already gets you into a startling price range - close to $700 billion for 2012 - but that’s barely more than half of it.

I agree it is time to 'get past' the 'climate change' meme : where valid concerns about the limits of human wisdom and ability have been turned into a mockery by the omnipresent 'Denier' meme : a mainstay of U.S. propaganda for decades which itself 'denies' equal opportunity rebuttal by 'taking both sides in an argument.' That's perpetrating a farce.
