The Pentagon's Weather Nightmare

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Sorry if this is a dupe:

The climate could change radically, and fast. That would be the mother of all national security issues.

Global warming may be bad news for future generations, but let's face it, most of us spend as little time worrying about it as we did about al Qaeda before 9/11. Like the terrorists, though, the seemingly remote climate risk may hit home sooner and harder than we ever imagined. In fact, the prospect has become so real that the Pentagon's strategic planners are grappling with it.

1. If the environment collapses,

can I chase after freepers with a board with a rusty nail through it?

2. If there are any left,

feel free. But, seriously, there's a thread on this in the forum that contains environmental issues. There was an article in the Independent about a week ago about this. Pretty scary.

3. It is rather simple.

You have a point Global warming is big concern, but like most problems they'll just ignore it till we can't go outside without becoming walking BBQs, garlic sauce anyone?

4. It wouldn't be barbeques,

we'd be snowcones.
