Apparently Fox News (or at least one of their hosts) thinks the London bombings were a good thing, stopping us getting distracted by climate change and African Aid. Bastards.
[EDIT: I might have been a bit unfair, "some good might come out of it", isn't the same as "it was a good thing". I stand by the "Bastards" reaction after reflection though.]

I think old Arrhenius, Nobel Prize 1903 or so, mentioned it back in 1896.

I was going to suggest staking him somewhere just above high water level in Bangladesh next time a flood was due instead.
Hasn't it occured to these people that us ("western civilization"/"the developed world") fucking up the planet and not helping the starving might encourage people with a grudge against us to act?
