A story notes that
[...] according to a new U.S. Army report, Americans could face a horrifically grim future from climate change involving blackouts, disease, thirst, starvation and war. The study found that the US military itself might also collapse. This could all happen over the next two decades, the report notes.
[...] The report paints a frightening portrait of a country falling apart over the next 20 years due to the impacts of climate change on "natural systems such as oceans, lakes, rivers, ground water, reefs, and forests.
Current infrastructure in the US, the report says, is woefully underprepared: "Most of the critical infrastructures identified by the Department of Homeland Security are not built to withstand these altered conditions."

As a kid, I might point out that if X affects the military, then X already destroyed the civilians.
As the military I would be more concerned about gold plated planes which won't probably stand a chance against specialized or pilot less crafts. About becoming a for profit corporation with no real duty towards the country. About Nations being already swallowed by the one system.
TFS seems to shift the blame of a programmed collapse on global warming which means in ultimate analysis, YOU. You are guilty of existing. It doesn't matter that your forefathers lived in perfect equilibrium with nature and we're dragged by the hair into the modern polluted age by the same guys that are shouting "ecology!!! Overpopulation!!" Now.
Soooo what are the adults saying? Me curious.
