Now the Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us
So here I am just innocently laying in bed reading, and suddenly The
Pentagon (!) is saying it's the end of the world as we know it !?! What
the hell is going on?
Of course, I'm trying not to let this unhinge me. These people, while
well respected, were the same ones making predictions of nuclear
apocolypse and coming up with the lovely Mutual Assured Destruction plan
during the Cold War, so it is their job to scare the crap out of
everybody under the guise of preparing for the worst, but it's the basic
facts that they're basing the predictions on that I find more than a bit
unsettling.
If there's an upside, it seems to be the general consensus that Bush
can't ignore global warming as an issue with this report having come
from the Pentagon. And maybe the Pentagon is just being dramatic to
make a point before it's too late... do you think? Maybe? Okay, I'm
off to lie under the covers and think of raindrops on roses and whiskers
on kittens for awhile.
