Everything in that list is pure speculation, with nothing to back it up. The Pentagon doesn't release information like a tabloid. Hell, they barely tell us anything about Saddam, yet suddenly they're spilling massive amounts of information on a fake doomsday? And since when is Yahoo! News a reliable source of information? When I see it on the BBC, I'll start to take notice. EDIT: It's the Guardian, or the Observer or whatever. This sotry looks like it's being traded around. And any news report where words are bolded for emphasis in every paragraph shouldn't be trusted. |

That's true, but it's a little more reasonable to think that food supplies will suffer if oil becomes scarce and if food supplies diminish people get desperate... Off-topic, though. Back to global warming. |

| Royal Tenenbaum | Some of it sounds likely, but the stuff about the Netherlands sounds far fetched. How the fuck do they know what will happen with the weather years from now? | ||

I have a feeling that if this were all true, we would hear more reports on it. I want a link to the report. |

| Perndog | I'm willing to bet energy is a bigger concern than global warming right now. Do a web search for "Peak Oil." | ||

besides, why is it so worrisome about the earth blowing up again? I think humans flatter themselves by claiming that we are destroying the earth. I think it would be a better statement by saying we *Just* might be helping earth along. Is humanity going to be wiped out? GOOD RIDDANCE! |

It's hard to find a good time to break bad news to Dubya because, if they upset him, he's bound to be trouble at nappy time.

You have a president who is trying to sell himself as the national security candidate, yet he is skeptical and dismissive about the very security issue for which his military advisors are preparing. I've said it before and I'll say it again. George Bush is a dumb ass. I just hope the American electorate can wake up to this fact before the presidential ballots are cast. |

Special report on climate change Key findings of the Pentagon Sunday February 22, 2004 The Observer · Future wars will be fought over the issue of survival rather than religion, ideology or national honour. · By 2007 violent storms smash coastal barriers rendering large parts of the Netherlands inhabitable. Cities like The Hague are abandoned. In California the delta island levees in the Sacramento river area are breached, disrupting the aqueduct system transporting water from north to south. · Between 2010 and 2020 Europe is hardest hit by climatic change with an average annual temperature drop of 6F. Climate in Britain becomes colder and drier as weather patterns begin to resemble Siberia. · Deaths from war and famine run into the millions until the planet's population is reduced by such an extent the Earth can cope. · Riots and internal conflict tear apart India, South Africa and Indonesia. · Access to water becomes a major battleground. The Nile, Danube and Amazon are all mentioned as being high risk. · A 'significant drop' in the planet's ability to sustain its present population will become apparent over the next 20 years. · Rich areas like the US and Europe would become 'virtual fortresses' to prevent millions of migrants from entering after being forced from land drowned by sea-level rise or no longer able to grow crops. Waves of boatpeople pose significant problems. · Nuclear arms proliferation is inevitable. Japan, South Korea, and Germany develop nuclear-weapons capabilities, as do Iran, Egypt and North Korea. Israel, China, India and Pakistan also are poised to use the bomb. · By 2010 the US and Europe will experience a third more days with peak temperatures above 90F. Climate becomes an 'economic nuisance' as storms, droughts and hot spells create havoc for farmers. · More than 400m people in subtropical regions at grave risk. · Europe will face huge internal struggles as it copes with massive numbers of migrants washing up on its shores. Immigrants from Scandinavia seek warmer climes to the south. Southern Europe is beleaguered by refugees from hard-hit countries in Africa. · Mega-droughts affect the world's major breadbaskets, including America's Midwest, where strong winds bring soil loss. · China's huge population and food demand make it particularly vulnerable. Bangladesh becomes nearly uninhabitable because of a rising sea level, which contaminates the inland water supplies. |

Global Warming is Fake, eh? Even the Pentagon recognizes the dire situation we are in Quote:
