Everywhere we look, we see the storm clouds of global peril. Disasters of all shapes and sizes are increasingly transforming how we live.
Skyrocketing oil prices and a housing/debt crisis shake the economy. A worldwide economic slowdown seems imminent.
Floods and drought contribute to food shortages, riots, hunger and starvation. Even diseases once considered conquered are making a comeback.
Devastating earthquakes and coastal flooding take tens of thousands of lives, leaving hundreds of thousands more homeless. Populated areas are devastated by cyclones and hurricanes.
Terrorism is global. Gang violence plagues our cities. Militant nations support terrorist activity; some, like Iran and North Korea, pursue nuclear arms. Islamic extremists openly declare their intent to overthrow Western civilization. And the Middle East threatens to explode at any moment. It's not a pretty picture!
Writing for the Associated Press, Alan Fram and Eileen Putman summarize the fears they've recently encountered across America : "Is everything spinning out of control? Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal. Air fares, college tuition and health care border on unaffordable. Wars without end rage in Iraq, Afghanistan and against terrorism . . . Americans need do no more than check the weather, look in their wallets or turn on the news for their daily reality check on a world gone haywire" (June 21, 2008).
The current disasters are just the tip of the iceberg. That is to say, present problems clearly in view sit atop a vast body of accumulated evidence beyond immediate observation.
