I agree. Some injuries and damage are to be expected. It would be interesting to know how frequently drone control is lost, the total number of American service personnel injured and the value in dollars of damage done. Taken out of context, the report of one incident is not very informative.
The authors note that 'While short term trends are generally treated with a suitable level of caution by specialists in the field, they feature significantly in the public discourse on climate change.'"
The public discourse is skewed to the short-term because the science of climate change is actually measured by reference to long-term trends. By focusing on the now, the public is actually misinformed. The reason for this chilling of debate is the influence of the fossil-fuel industry. It works hard to deny the reality of climate change. The result is the majority of Americans do not believe in the reality of climate change or, if they accept the amount of carbon is rising, they see no danger. The triumph of the fossil-fuel industry could be a disaster for our children if shifts in weather patterns and rises in sea levels force migration and produce wars.
