There were wars in the 20th century over water rights.
Me, I find it amazing that we'll have nothing to talk about for the rest of the century other than the weather.
This can't be true. Globull warmers are telling us we are all gonna die in 100 years. How can there even be future historians?
How does a guy get to be a social scientist, and work for the federal government!?? Since he's presenting these findings, he's probably a GS-12 or GS-14 ... unbelievable ...
Figures.
"There are entire villages in coastal Alaska that are having to be moved because of the erosion," Serreze said Sunday.
Name one ...
Global warming is a total crock, junk science at its worst. See the work of Sun and Baliunas at Harvard, or look up "Medieval Warm Period" (it really was provably warmer back then, yet they had no industry to speak of).
Chicken Little now has a government job, I see.
"The CIA 2015 report predicted that there would be wars in the 21st century over water rights."
If not water, they would have to find something else....
Three words: Propaganda. Hegel. HAARP.
'....You now face a new world, a world of change.
The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres, and missiles marks
a beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind.
In the five or more billions of years the scientists tell us it has taken to
form the earth, in the three or more billion years of development of the
human race, there has never been a more abrupt or staggering evolution.
We deal now, not with things of this world alone, but with the illimitable
distances and as yet unfathomed mysteries of the universe.
We are reaching out for a new and boundless frontier.
***We speak in strange terms of harnessing the cosmic energy, ****of making
winds and tides work for us, of creating unheard of synthetic materials to
supplement or even replace our old standard basics, ***to purify sea water
for our drink, of mining ocean floors for new fields of wealth and food,
of disease preventatives to expand life into the hundred of years,
***of controlling the weather for a more equitable distribution of heat and cold,
of rain and shine, of spaceships to the moon, of the primary target in war,
no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include
his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race
and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy, of such dreams
and fantasies as to make life the most exciting of all times.
And through all this welter of change and development your mission
remains fixed, determined, inviolable.
It is to win our wars....."

These guys would have curled up and died in the Jurassic Period then. It was a LOT warmer than now
It has scientific in the title so it must be scientific (women and minorities hit hardest).
And a bear defecates al fresco. They've always had a dark view -- of course, it used to be a new ice age they were fretting about.
Schlocky 'Day After Tomorrow' ROTFL Alert!
The vast bulk of climate change is driven by solar radiance, which we can nothing to alter. So, given that Kyoto would accomplish NOTHING to alter the progress of climate change, other than having the government control distribution of water that is easily diverted to corrupt purpose, what do you propose to do about it?
Archimedes would have fun with this one...
For the author's sake, let's put it in very simple terms. Fill a glass to the brim with icewater and watch the ice melt. If what the author says is true, then you're glass of icewater would overflow. Maybe it happens in this author's world, but here on earth it just ain't the case. A pound of water will displace the same amount as a pound of ice...the volume of the ice is greater, but the total displacement is the same.
The author says so much when he says: The collapse of ice shelves along the outer fringes of Antarctica does not affect sea level because the shelves float on the ocean. But he fails to make the correct assertion on the Arctic sea ice.
Of course, ANTarctic ice would be another story...but that's because some of the Antarctic ice is sitting on top of a landmass, not floating.
Global warming is part of a natural earth cycle. There's nothing you can do about it. You can't stop a natural earth cycle. It's like trying to stop an earthquake.
"A quarter-billion years ago, forested islands flashed with autumnal hues near the South Pole — a polar scene unlike any today, researchers say.
Geologists have discovered in Antarctica the remains of three ancient deciduous forests complete with fossils of fallen leafs scattered around the tree trunks. The clusters of petrified tree stumps were found upright in the original living positions they held during the Permian period."
Hopefully, forests will grow in Antarctica again!
