we wondered how much longer it would take the government - or the mainstream media - to bring up the obvious fact that global warming is going to mean more and nastier wars in our future (and our children's). people tend to get a bit testy when they have no food or water, malaria is rampant, and the weather swings between hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, can't-afford-air-conditioning heat waves and can't-afford-the-heating-bill winters.
the new national intelligence assessment - the only public look we'll likely get at what the government really thinks - follows after the jump.
(we're still convinced that there's a think tank or other government-sponsored group looking at the ramifications of drastically cutting back the world's population so that we can seize the bulk of the world's resources and not have to cut down on our consumption. we have absolutely no indication of this but - given what we've done over the past 40 years or so along these lines - doesn't that just sound like something we'd be working on?)
god, we miss hunter thompson.
