Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 This affects vegetarians because, frankly, it's a luxury lifestyle these days. We need to plan ahead and I'm not sure we can ensure that we'll be able to continue our chosen lifestyle in the very near future. This also explains the insane behavior of our Ruling Elite lately. They are panicked to position themselves well for the future. Secret Pentagon Global Warming Report 23-Feb-2004 Pentagon The Pentagon's secret climate report warns that in next 20 years, there could be a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. Major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas and Britain will have a " Siberian " climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, major droughts, famine and widespread rioting will spread across the world. This report has been kept under wraps by the U.S. military, but the contents have now been exposed by a major newspaper in the U.K. In the Observer, Mark Townsend and Paul Harris reveal the contents of the secret report, commissioned by Pentagon defense adviser Andrew Marshall and compiled by CIA consultant Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall of the Global Business Network. It warns of possible nuclear war over dwindling food, water and energy supplies and says, " Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life. Once again, warfare would define human life. " The report says that climate change " should be elevated beyond a scientific debate to a U.S. national security concern. " Sudden climate change is " plausible and would challenge United States national security in ways that should be considered immediately. " They predict widespread flooding due to a rise in sea levels by next year. Bob Watson, formerly chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says, " Can Bush ignore the Pentagon? It's going be hard to blow off this sort of document. It’s hugely embarrassing. After all, Bush's single highest priority is national defense. The Pentagon is no wacko, liberal group, generally speaking it is conservative. If climate change is a threat to national security and the economy, then he has to act. There are two groups the Bush Administration tend to listen to, the oil lobby and the Pentagon. " Doug Randall, one of the authors of the report, says, " This is depressing stuff...It is a national security threat that is unique because there is no enemy to point your guns at and we have no control over the threat…We don't know exactly where we are in the process. It could start tomorrow and we would not know for another five years. The consequences for some nations of the climate change are unbelievable. It seems obvious that cutting the use of fossil fuels would be worthwhile. " Rob Gueterbock of Greenpeace says, " You've got a President who says global warming is a hoax, and across the Potomac river you've got a Pentagon preparing for climate wars. It's pretty scary when Bush starts to ignore his own government on this issue. " Jeremy Symons, formerly at the Environmental Protection Agency, says, " This administration is ignoring the evidence in order to placate a handful of large energy and oil companies. " We have one question: Why hasn't this made headlines in the U.S.? I climb the road to Cold Mountain, The road to Cold Mountain that never ends. The valleys are long and strewn with stones; The streams broad and banked with thick grass. Moss is slippery, though no rain has fallen; Pines sigh, but it isn’t the wind. Who can break from the snares of the world And sit with me among the white clouds? - Han-shan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
