"Climate change is and will be a significant threat to our national security and in a larger sense to life on Earth as we know it to be," retired Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, former U.S. Army chief of staff, told a congressional panel last month.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee agrees. In awarding the prize Friday to climate campaigner Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.-sponsored network of scientists, the Norwegian committee said the stresses of a changing global environment may heighten the "danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states."

Wow imagine that! If the US Army is stating that there may be problems due to global warming don't you think the Bush administration should start to wake up just a little?

The army has always been largely republican, however this administration has even gotten them voicing their opinions against them on everything from the Iraq war to now the environment.

Think about the implications. The US and the Bush administration continue to ignore pleas from other countries to lead the way on climate change and decreasing emissions yet they don't. They want it to be voluntary because they want to volunteer to do nothing. They are the worst environmental administration ever and they continue to prove their incompetence. The US spews the most into the atmosphere yet is volunteering to do the least.

Conflict will erupt over water shortages, farmland, and societies moving due to inhospitable regions that have all but dried up. Much of what is happening in Darfur is in fact partly related to the fact that the area is under a huge drought.
