The National Intelligence Council recently addressed Congress to discuss the security threats that need to be considered in the face of global warming.

What risks are expected to be aggravated by global warming?


Military protection fails when sun-drenched artillery far too hot to handle with bare hands

Invasion might catch America off guard while it's cooling down in a movie theater

Glaciers embittered by the rising temperatures may stage revenge "suicide meltings" on innocent civilians

Frozen Mongol warriors may be defrosted and angry

Too muggy to tell if terrorists have attacked

Heatstroke affecting thousands of security officials, allowing millions of 3-ounce gels to enter aircraft unnoticed

Increased precipitation will allow terrorists to conduct activity more surreptitiously under large umbrellas

Natural disaster could occur on 9/11, dividing nation's patriotic sentiment

Al Gore becoming even more powerful.

Don't forget about the very real threat to coastal cities of a dihydrogen monoxide (http://www.dhmo.org/) chemical attack.

There seams to be two sides to the argument: Worry and spend money trying to fix your worries.... OR Worry, and then do something about it with your own hands. The Third Option: Just sit down and watch TV
