Climate change a National Security threat?

I just read it...supposedly it came from the Pentagon, was repressed by our current administration, and a British paper got ahold of it...
If it's right, then we best all be taking classes on how to live off the land and kill people who want our food
If it's wrong...it definitely could incite a whole lotta trouble along the way of discovering that
Otherwise, I think I need to see more than just one article on it before I'm ready to buy in and start hording water.

So maybe Tony Blair has been making sure of his retirement home in the US then?
Siberian climate? I'll eat my fur hat and thermal undies if that happens here by 2020.

I like how the US gets away with no damage, there's no incentive for the wastrels of this world to reform after all....

Well if we continue with business as usual, all that map is really doing is highlighting areas that already deal with those issues...lol...it's not a far stretch of the imagination that it will continue to get worse before it gets better...though I dunno about the timeline they've put into play.
I like how whatever area they couldn't put in a coloured block they simply left as "white" which shows 'water shortages'.
It's a rather poorly done illustration, because if the world were to truly immerse in chaos as a result of climate changes, then most of those "problems" descirbed would occur in tandem and throughout the world...not just one problem here and one problem there.

haha! That's cuz we don't whore ourselves out. Some of those problems are self-inflicted, so if another country wants to ruin their land, that's their problem :devil:
But like Jr_B said, those problems already exist, so it's not like some new revelation. I used to live in FL so I know that tropical storms in the carribean is normal and increasing... damn Africa, stop sending 'em!
Well dem Africans don't get much else to export since your good ole boys clamped down on that lucrative slave-tradin' gig.Originally posted by LordOpie

Sheesh, it gets harder and harder to exploit the third world these days.
