Ex-generals: Globalwarming threatens U.S. security

"Globalwarming poses a "serious threat to America's national security" and the U.S. likely will be dragged into fights over water and other shortages, top retired military leaders warn in a new report.

The report says that in the next 30 to 40 years there will be wars over water, increased hunger instability from worsening disease and rising sea levels and globalwarming-induced refugees. "The chaos that results can be an incubator of civil strife, genocide and the growth of terrorism," the 35-page report predicts."

I guess it takes a "threat to US national security" to wake the Bush administration up and see the truth. Unfortunately there are people who think this report is to alarmist because the prediction is still 30 years ahead. Apparently they think nothing needs to be done about this until it actually happens. By then, and this is what they can't seem to get into their small brains, it will be too late.
