Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the CIA came back with an estimate that says: anthropogenic global warming is a crock, the mild warming we’re experience is not tied to CO2 increases and that the warming overall will save lives. Just wondering if that’s the reason the Admiral agreed.
That would be a good one. But the flip side of that finding might lend credence to the AGW version; the “Intel community” has its fair share of liberal nutcases.
