Climate Wars

"Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters..
A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world."

"Future wars will be fought over the issue of survival rather than religion, ideology or national honour."

"Access to water becomes a major battleground."

It's a real dystopia! It sounds pretty much a la Nostradamus and I suspect that the reason for this report is the fact that the Pentagon has to justify its enormous budget.
