Are you scared enough now to let them pump your pooper, 'murkn?
I haven't covered the issue much because the paper has been avoiding it (there is lying, and then there is LYING), but you need only cruise the files to see what bulls***ing insults the paper hurls. Bye, bye, Globe.
"Summer temperatures commonly run above 120 degrees in Death Valley, with the average daytime August temperature about 113. The high Tuesday and Wednesday was 111, with a low of 96 early Tuesday."
It's BELOW-AVERAGE even in DEATH VALLEY?
"The cool and rainy weather has wreaked havoc with much produce."
Well, that is no surprise to someone who lives here!
Nevertheless, the agenda is advanced with fabulous lies:
"Climate change may threaten security; US military looks at possible effects of global warming" by John M. Broder, New York Times | August 9, 2009
WASHINGTON - The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration, and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.
Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements, or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon, and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change.
Translation: This is an EXCUSE to OCCUPY the PLANET and for GLOBAL GOVERNANCE! I mean, WHATEVER WORKS, right, shit-eating masses?
Recent war games and intelligence studies conclude that over the next 20 to 30 years, vulnerable regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia, will face the prospect of food shortages, water crises, and catastrophic flooding driven by climate change that could demand an American humanitarian relief or military response.
Letting you KNOW WHERE the WWIII BATTLEFIELDS will be -- at least, at first.
An exercise at the National Defense University, an educational institute overseen by the military, last December explored the potential impact of a flood in Bangladesh that sent hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming into neighboring India, touching off religious conflict, the spread of diseases, and vast damage to infrastructure.
“It gets real complicated real quickly,’’ said Amanda J. Dory, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy, who is working with a Pentagon group assigned to incorporate climate change into national security strategy planning.
Yeah, WORLD WRS USUALLY DO and END in the DESTRUCTION of THOSE WHO STARTED THEM!
Bye-bye, USraeli Empire!!!!!!
Much of the public and political debate on global warming has focused on finding substitutes for fossil fuels, reducing emissions that contribute to greenhouse gases, and furthering negotiations toward an international climate treaty - not potential security challenges. But a growing number of policy makers say the world’s rising temperatures, surging seas, and melting glaciers are a direct threat to the national interest.
Yeah, too bad they are ALL LIES!!!!!!
If the United States does not lead the world in reducing fossil fuel consumption and thus emissions of global warming gases, proponents of this view say, a series of global environmental, social, political, and possibly military crises loom that the nation will urgently have to address.
Telling you where they are going, kiddo. Ten-hut!
This argument could prove a fulcrum for debate in the Senate next month when it takes up climate and energy legislation passed in June by the House. Lawmakers leading the debate before Congress are only now beginning to make the national security argument for approving the legislation.
So you can suck on a CARBON TAX, 'murkn -- as if you haven't been taxed enough for bank bailouts and these mass-murdering wars.
Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a leading advocate for the climate legislation, said he hoped to sway Senate skeptics by pressing that issue, but the list of undecideds includes many from coal and manufacturing states and from the South and Southeast, which will face the sharpest energy price increases from any carbon emissions control program.
“I’ve been making this argument for a number of years,’’ Kerry said, “but it has not been a focus because a lot of people had not connected the dots.’’ He said he had urged President Obama to make the case, too.
That an the "freefall" expressions in the paper are giving me the false-flag spooks.
Kerry said the continuing conflict in Sudan, which has killed and displaced tens of thousands of people, was a result of drought and expansion of deserts in the north. “That is going to be repeated many times over and on a much larger scale,’’ he said.
He sickens me; nothing about Israel's treatment of Palestinians, huh?
Or what we've done in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, huh?
Adds up to about 10 million refugees alone.
The Department of Defense’s assessment of the security issue came about after prodding by Congress to include climate issues in its strategic plans - specifically in 2008 budget authorizations by Hillary Rodham Clinton and John W. Warner, then senators. The department’s climate modeling is based on Navy and Air Force weather programs and other government climate research programs at NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

These will be the types of articles I will be passing by in the future because I won't be purchasing a paper and will likely click, read a bit, decide it's all agenda-pushing lies, and say why waste your time and mine?
