That bastion of radical environmentalism, The Pentagon

I’m as suspicious of “secret reports” as the next guy, but this one seems to merit some attention.

The report, dug up by those folks at The Observer, predicts catastrophic climactic change (e.g., increasingly violent storms making the Netherlands largely uninhabitable by, say, 2007), worldwide riots, a significant increase in the number of days above 90°F in the US and Europe, wars fought primarily over access to water (and worsened by rampant nuclear proliferation goaded on by countries’ efforts to secure access to food, water, and energy supplies), etc.

Oh, right. And the report was commissioned by the Pentagon (specifically, Andrew Marshall, a P-gon defense advisor).

Surprised?
