So I was not too surprised to hear about the existence of a Pentagon-commissioned study that examines the national security impact of global warming—or, to be more specific, the impact of warming temperatures on the Gulf Stream.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

This is a worst case scenario. But there is no doubt that we are negatively affecting our surroundings and that it is unhealthy for humans. People are dying.

We need to do EVERYTHING WE CAN.... and yesterday.

So stop being the road bump to all important change.

He was the man behind a sweeping recent review aimed at transforming the American military under Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Climate change 'should be elevated beyond a scientific debate to a US national security concern', say the authors, Peter Schwartz, CIA consultant and former head of planning at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, and Doug Randall of the California-based Global Business Network.
