Your main leader opens with a warning that “faith will unsettle politics everywhere this century” (“The New Wars of Religion,” November 3, 2007). Agreed. But you fail to mention the main reason why this is likely to be the case: climate change. Your lengthy special report on faith and politics (“In God’s Name”), which also predicts rising religious strife within several generations to come, does not mention it, either. Destitute throngs in search of land that is neither scorched nor flooded are not liable to listen to politicians. They will offer their hearts and souls to priests, instead. Many a novelist peering into the murky future of the human species has come up with this ominous warning, and it is thus both surprising and disappointing that you have missed it entirely.
