Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us (Feb 22, 2004)

Remember this??? How can those who supposedly strong on national security claim global warming is a myth??? Oh, yeah, they're living in a faith-based world rather than a reality-based world (see Suskind's NYT article to be found here

Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..
A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.

much more....

Symons, who left the EPA in protest at political interference, said that the suppression of the report was a further instance of the White House trying to bury evidence of climate change. 'It is yet another example of why this government should stop burying its head in the sand on this issue.'

Symons said the Bush administration's close links to high-powered energy and oil companies was vital in understanding why climate change was received sceptically in the Oval Office. 'This administration is ignoring the evidence in order to placate a handful of large energy and oil companies,' he added.

VS our lives,for these decadent thugs in their secret gated communities we all are expendable as long as they win,and they got theirs.

Thanks for posting these; I'd missed them both, I think.

Of course she didn't believe any of it. It's from one of those socialist European papers.

My son told me that one of his colleagues who was, at best, neutral about global warming, decided that if the pentagon believed it and was 'gaming' scenarios about its effects on US military security he better take it seriously himself.

they heard about the Pentagon twist. Ubber-scary.
