Alex: I was referring to the report: http://securityandclimate.cna.org/report/ not the CNN summary of the report. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, nice way to change the subject. Kudos.

Yeah, nice way to change the subject. Kudos. [/ QUOTE ] How am i changing the subject? The OP was about that report. You said you were open and willing to consider global warming theories if they weren't so propaganda-laden. I asked what your specific objections were. You gave me objections to CNN's reporting, not the theories laid out in the actual report. I don't particularly care about what you think of the MSM, I'm simply trying to understand what you mean when you say you are open to thinking about global warming except the propaganda-tactics turn you off to thinking about it.

good thread hijack Nielsio. [/ QUOTE ] Well, he actually has a point this time. Who is going to wage thh "war of water"? States. Who exists solely for the purpose of addressing global problems created by local actions in a way that local economics can/does not? States. Who is actually doing nothing about global warming accept talking about what we should do? States.

States seek war, not peace. And they will take any opportunity they can get. http://thefreedomchannel.blogspot.co...n-vi-mark.html [/ QUOTE ] By your logic, shouldn't they be denying global warming? How would low carbon/alternative/sustainable energy start a war.

I don't need scientists or generals to tell me that a fixed amount of space + expotential human growth = competition for resources
It's not that hard to figure out

How would low carbon/alternative/sustainable energy start a war. [/ QUOTE ] Skyrocketing food prices as food and arable land are diverted to biofuels, for starters. This is already happening; the poor in Mexico are being pinched in the tortilla budget as corn is diverted to ethanol production. I believe there has already been some rioting, but I'm not positive.

I really can't comment on this until I read the report. Looks like it will be a fun read though. I wonder what scams the nay sayers will be accusing these retired military officers of. [/ QUOTE ] my guess is that they'll be flamed by ending sentences with a preposition.
