In case no one has mentioned it here already, allow me to explain the
so-called 'secret' Pentagon report:

The report was never classified, and was published well before a hysterical
media outlet got ahold of it and decided to make an issue of it. The report
was intended as a HYPOTHETICAL worst case scenario IF the worst parts of all
the climate change predictions came to pass. That likelihood is remote, even
in the words of said report's authors. The Pentagon is tasked with being
prepared for worst case scenarios, and so they commission reports like this
all the time. This is why I can't stand hysterical greenies... All emotional
reaction, little thinking things through. In fact, you might say they thrive
on that modus operandi.
