"Climate change can act as a threat multiplier for instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world," six retired admirals and five retired generals warned in a report released last month by the CNA Corp., a nonprofit research consultant to the federal government. "The increasing risks from climate change should be addressed now because they will almost certainly get worse if we delay."Whatever. I really wish they'd focus on what matters most, like defeating the Islamofascists.
"We will pay for this one way or another," Gen. Anthony Zinni, former commander of U.S. Central Command, wrote in the report. "We will pay to reduce greenhouse gas emissions today, and we'll have to take an economic hit of some kind. Or we will pay the price later in military terms. And that will involve human lives."I think Zinni should be careful here, because if he keeps exaggerating the threat of global warming, it will likely prove very damaging to the cause.
