CLIMATE COLLAPSE
The Pentagon's Weather Nightmare
The climate could change radically, and fast. That would be the mother of all national security issues.
By David Stipp
Global warming may be bad news for future generations, but let's face it, most of us spend as little time worrying about it as we did about al Qaeda before 9/11. Like the terrorists, though, the seemingly remote climate risk may hit home sooner and harder than we ever imagined. In fact, the prospect has become so real that the Pentagon's strategic planners are grappling with it.

Hmm, according to Jimmy Carter's "Global 2000" report published years ago (which I read cover to cover)...by now, we should all be dead.

"Growing evidence suggests the ocean-atmosphere system that controls the world's climate can lurch from one state to another in less than a decadelike a canoe that's gradually tilted until suddenly it flips over. Scientists don't know how close the system is to a critical threshold. "
Somebody's going to play with their Tesla toys? Sounds like they are concerned about the poles flipping:
