Its articles like this that the mass's see and read and start down their path to social injustice marchs. Climate change could cause WAR. What a load of propoganda. This is just another daily reminder why Global Warming, NOW climate change is just BS. YES, the world changes, hoter, colder and SHOULD be changing. If it weren't nature would be severely OUT OF LINE. Everything changes. These past 2 years have seen record colds, snows and the artic cirlce is full of ice AGAIN. WOW, how'd that happen?????? No islands have dissappeared, antartica is BIGGER, the polar bear populations have increased and the temps have been dropping here and throughout our solar system, abt at the same pace. Again, is the SUN the cause? Hell yes. Is the oceanic beltway a cause. YEP. Are GHG causing temp increases. NOT prooven and nowhere near evident.
NOW its CLIMATE CHANGE. Why the switch? Cause everything that NOW happens falls under this STUPID banner. Now, the UN and the liberal socialists amongst us are charging up the 3rd worlds, the poorly educated in Europe, the welfare crowd who are not able to research Climates and CHANGE. This is another attempt to TAX America and the doer's in soceity and all under the False claim that MAN is the devil.
Climate change 'may put world at war'

Climate change could cause global conflicts as large as the two world wars but lasting for centuries unless the problem is controlled, a leading defence think tank has warned.

Food shortages: how will we feed the world?
Biofuel rules 'could make millions homeless'
The Royal United Services Institute said a tenfold increase in research spending, comparable to the amount spent on the Apollo space programme, will be needed if the world is to avoid the worst effects of changing temperatures.


Governments should be preparing for the worst


However the group said the world's response to the threats posed by climate change, such as rising sea levels and migration, had so far been "slow and inadequate," because nations had failed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

"We're preparing for a car bomb, not for 9/11," said Nick Mabey, author of the report which comes after Lord Stern, who compiled an economic assessment of climate change for the Government, said last week that he had underestimated the possible economic consequences.

Mr Mabey, a former senior member of the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit who is now chief executive of the environmental group E3G, said leading economies should be preparing for what would happen if climate change turned out to be running at the top of the temperature range scientists are predicting.

He noted that investment in energy research is ten times less than the £10 billion a year (at 2002 prices) spent on the Apollo shuttle programme.

advertisementUnless similar sums are poured into battling climate change the world risks being caught completely unprepared if the climate reaches a "tipping point" where warming and sea level rise began to accelerate, he said.

Even if climate change was more benign than the worst-case scenario, the research would not be wasted as technological advances in nuclear power, biofuels, carbon capture and storage and renewables were urgently needed anyway, he added.

Climate change is like 'World War Three'
Climate change 'likely to cause wars'
'Climate change: adapt to it, don't fight it'
The report said: "If climate change is not slowed and critical environmental thresholds are exceeded, then it will become a primary driver of conflicts between and within states."

It added: "Climate impacts will force us into a radical rethink of how we identify and secure our national interests.

For example, our energy and climate security will increasingly depend on stronger alliances with other large energy consumers, such as China, to develop and deploy new energy technologies, and less on relations with oil producing states.

"No strategy for long run peace and stability in Afghanistan can possibly succeed unless local livelihoods can survive the impact of a changing climate on water availability and crop yields."

A spokesman for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office said: "We welcome the RUSI report as a helpful addition to the growing debate on climate security."

what is a limate? Is that like a lie mate?

What a load of BS doom and gloom? Not according to our own military.

U.S. Military Measures Climate Change
Intelligence Establishment Calling It A Major Security Problem

Pfft...

The military is just a bunch of tree hugging...um...
I mean, they just want more grant money to...um...
They clearly hate Amer...


:dunno:

With all the hand ringing and misinformation being thrown out there it will become a mantra for the dissinfranchised to blame democratic soceity's on everything from earth quakes to NOW Climate Change. The mass's are being duped. ALGORE, McCain and many others are trying to use this false premiss to take more tax's and control of business's. Carbon credits and GHG's are all 1 big bag of nonsense. 1 volcanoe spews more carbon then all the vehicles in the history of cars and where's the media REPORTING that fact?????? We are a speck on this planet and its 4.5 billion years of handling everything thrown at it doesn't sweat our contribution whats so ever.

You remind me of those nuts that don't bathe and hold up signs downtown saying "THE END IS NEAR" except you are the (melted) polar extreme.
