One of the reasons I got so concerned about this is when I learned what our own Pentagon and our own intelligence people are saying to us. And what are they saying to us? A report commissioned by the Department of Defense in 2003 found that the impacts of global warming would cause the U.S. to "find itself in a world where Europe will be struggling internally. with large numbers of refugees washing up on its shores and Asia In serious crisis over food and water. Disruptions and conflict will be endemic features of life." And. of course. our Pentagon and our Department of Defense are very concerned about that happening with our allies in Europe. "Warming Will Exacerbate Global Water Conflicts." According to many studies. Including the IPCC. changing weather patterns will leave millions of people without dependable supplies of water for drinking. irrigation. and power.
