'Imagine the Unthinkable' is the first line of this climate report funded by the Pentagon. "An Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States National Security" spells out how sudden climate changes pose more of a threat to National and World Security than any Terrorist could. This 22 page document warns of the destabilizing effects of gradual climate change, how it could lead to abrupt climate changes and concludes that if we are not prepared, the people of Earth will face a "significant drop in the human carrying capacity" of the planetary environment.
The report was commissioned by influential Pentagon defense adviser Andrew Marshall, who has held considerable sway on US military thinking over the past three decades. It's a great read, but beware of the sleepless night to come!

Man's impact on the global climate is the biggest danger that the human race faces today. We as a species have to overcome many preconceived notions to face this dilemma and we should know a few things about our enemy. The climate sees no borders, and does not discriminate based on politcal beliefs, religion, skin color, or sexuality, and will surely affect all of us in ways that we cannot imagine in the years to come.
Thing are happening on this planet right now that have dire consequences of for all humans. Accelerating Polar Ice Melt, the deforestation of the Amazon Basin and other large tropical forests, rising sea surface temperatures, massive coral die-offs, droughts, floods and stronger hurricanes are all interconnected and seem to be spinning out of control. For us to really make a difference in our affect on Global Climate Change, we are all going to have to work together as a species.
