Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Interesting thread. I tend to think that global warming is a real possibility, although rates and impacts are much more up for discussion. What intrigues me is that (while I haven't read this whole thread), I haven't seen anyone discuss much of 'what if the other side is right'? Just for kicks, If you are of the opinion that global warming is not a big problem, what would you suggest we do if it is? Conversely, if you think it is a grave risk, what actions would be unwarranted if it is not? 

 

To look at one example, nuclear power might be a much better alternative if the risks are grave, whereas the risks of nuclear reactors would be greater in comparison if global warming is overrated. Just curious if this would make for more creativity. For example, there might be areas both sides would be perfectly happy with looking into, like cloud reflectivity, some forms of carbon sequestrations, etc.

<p class="bbc_left">Or is it from Burke? I tried finding the source, and looked through some of his writings, no luck. Anybody with google-fu got a citation of the source?
