January 1, 2020: Doomsday

At least according to a Pentagon report in 2004 (Hattip to Ed Driscoll at Instapundit) :

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.

The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents.

‘Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,’ concludes the Pentagon analysis. ‘Once again, warfare would define human life.’

The findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists. Experts said that they will also make unsettling reading for a President who has insisted national defence is a priority.

The report was commissioned by influential Pentagon defence adviser Andrew Marshall, who has held considerable sway on US military thinking over the past three decades. He was the man behind a sweeping recent review aimed at transforming the American military under Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Go here to read the risible rest.  Two observations:

  1.  Climate alarmist predictions are always wrong and never mentioned by the mainstream media as they breathlessly recite the most recent predictions of doom.
  2.  Governments have an endless appetite for useless politicized junk reports that have no better use than to serve as emergency toilet paper.

Peter Schwartz…. I swear I know that guy’s name, besides from this kind of BS….

Oh well.

I remember when it came out, the general impression was that it was “suppressed” because it was so obviously stupid.

How can there be a water shortage if Britain is below sea level? The polar caps are fresh water. Boil the water. I am always impressed that Marco Polo wen to China in search of salt when he lived on the Mediterranean Sea. Well at least we got spaghetti.

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”—-Rahm Emanuel

Now crisis’ are manufactured so the elite can do as they please. Here is Steve Jobs, an example of “elite” thinking:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

Steve Jobs thinking is how we got to where we are today in both Church and State–on the road to oblivion. Either we follow God’s will or go insane.

“Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,’ concludes the Pentagon analysis.” [Lol.]
Enter AOC, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, or a host of other diseases parading around as Solution analysts to an administration that doesn’t buy all the snake oil the aforementioned are selling.

Disruption and conflict we already have.
It’s know as Socialist sociopaths aka the Democrats. An endemic if ever there was one.

Happy New Year TAC.

My first comment of the new decade…so…uh..well, optimistic?
Nope.

Truth hurts.

Climate scientists need to search hearts. The signs of the times are a caliber of mens hearts. There is the answer to our climate. As mens hearts cool so the earth heats up.
As soon as men warm their hearts, reconcile with God, then neighbors, then and only then will we see change in the climate.

Earth doesn’t need to be saved.
Men do.

Enter Jesus.

Peace Don.
