Pentagon to Bush: Climate change will destroy us |
|

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.
So dramatic are the report's scenarios, Watson said, that they may prove
vital in the US elections.
Already, according to Randall and Schwartz, the planet is carrying a higher
population than it can sustain. By 2020 'catastrophic' shortages of water and
energy supply will become increasingly harder to overcome, plunging the
planet into war. They warn that 8,200 years ago climatic conditions brought
widespread crop failure, famine, disease and mass migration of populations
that could soon be repeated.
Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us

The Guardian, Sunday February 22, 2004
Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe
costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.
