The report was an imagination of a worst-case scenario that the national security apparatus could use to bolster readiness.? It wasn't a prediction and much of what is imagined in this report has yet to occur.?
It was a scientific report commissioned by the Pentagon just as climate change research was commissioned by the Pentagon.? Climate change research was not an altruistic effort to save life on the planet but where to put military bases.
That said, the polar ice caps are melting at an astounding rate, much faster than predicted.? The human race is clearly due for a correction.? ?
Most likely extinction.
Do you ever read the articles you post? Page 1 of the report says the following:
The purpose of this report
is to imagine the unthinkable ¨C to push the boundaries of current research on climate change so we may better understand the potential implications on United States national security. We have interviewed leading climate change scientists, conducted additional research,
and reviewed several iterations of the scenario with these experts.
The scientists support this project, but caution that the scenario depicted is extreme in two fundamental ways. First, they suggest the occurrences we outline would most likely happen in a few regions, rather than on globally. Second, they say the magnitude of the event may be considerably smaller. We have created a climate change scenario that although not the most likely, is plausible, and would challenge United States national security in ways that should be considered immediately.??
