THE ICE AGE APPROACHETH? Part 3 of 3

Fortune Magazine is the only organ of the American media to have taken note of this story.  and then only because it "would be the mother of all national security issues."  David Stipp's article centers on the Pentagon's concerns, as put forth in an unclassified report by Andrew Marshall.  in this report Marshall foresees that as soon as 2020 violent ocean storms could be destroying levees, disrupting aqueduct systems, causing huge and widespread dust storms and soil loss.  Megadroughts would affect the U.S., especially in the southern states.  the U.S. would need to become a fortress, keeping our resources in and the world's evermore desperate have-nots out. nuclear arms would proliferate in countries seeking to shore up their energy supplies and defend themselves in this global crisis. the end result looks like this:  "the eruption of desperate, all-out wars over food, water and energy supplies."

according to the bushgreenwatch post this morning, "The Bush Administration has yet to publicly acknowledge the Pentagon study or reverse any of its positions which oppose taking action to address global warming.  In fact, as reported yesterday.....it is threatening to undermine an international treaty that has proven widely successful in reducing worldwide production of methyl bromide, the most potent ozone-depleting chemical still in widespread use."

The Bush Administration is more concerned with banning gay marriage than reducing the effects of burning fossil fuels and ozone-depleting chemicals,  more concerned with abrogating the rights of dissenting citizens than with changing the standards for automotive emissions and fuel efficiency, more concerned with exporting corporate capitalism to wartorn feudal societies than with working to make this planet a place where our children stand a chance of growing up at all.  the bushgreenwatch site offers you the chance to notify your representatives in Congress that it's time to make some changes.  we either become activists now, or we kiss our butts goodbye.  quite possibly a lot sooner than we thought.
