This is ludicrous. There is no deterministic proof that global warming exists. Climate change has always existed and humans have zero capability with regard to controlling it, thus the evolution from global warming to climate change and consensus science (no substantiation is required to say the climate is changing). In reality, the higher the population, the more the complexity, the more the impact of minor disruptions to the system. The more humans disrupt the system without any idea of the impact from political actions, the more chaos is going to be generated, i.e. the global warming, biofuels, commodities "strange attractor". Our stupidity lies in the our belief of consensus science and the relative output of non deterministic hypothetical models. This is just social and now political lessons learned in moving the swarm, from the Y2K and Clinton Tobacco trials. I believe Michael Crichton termed it "state of fear".
I am seriously beginning to doubt the actual intelligence of the members of the U.S. "intelligence" agencies. They don't seem to be able to apply the known examples of history in their "research" and I doubt that they really have the critical thinking skills necessary for their jobs.
History, time and time again, has shown that, contrary to the "logic" as suggested by this report, the majority of terrorist originations and their associated attacks on civilian populations have not been "caused," or even added, by natural disasters like drought, flooding, and the like. Most attacks are socio-political in nature and they are an attempt not to alleviate mass starvations and other natural disasters, but to instill command and control of a large segment of a given population by a select few through the use of fear and intimidation. The attackers themselves are usually middle to upper class young men who are not suffering from any detrimental condition like hunger and disease. They are usually well fed and well educated. The same is true of the supporters of terrorism.
Although terrorism can, and has, been used as a means of controlling and even reducing the general population through the use of restricting limited supplies of food, water, and medicine, this is a planned reduction of access and it is NOT a natural occurrence that is caused by climate change or other natural condition.
Droughts and the like have REDUCED the risk of terrorism flourishing in affected areas as governments, even tyrannical ones, LOOSE control over a given population when conditions deteriorate to the point of mass suffering and the local populations will rebel against any government, or controlling body, that fails to help that population reduce that suffering. Instead of adding the tyrannical governments, and the associated terrorism they employ, natural disasters and mass suffering tend to shift the local populations to support non-tyrannical governments as it is those governments, like here in America, that lend support and aid to the affected areas.
I wonder why it's so hard for our "intelligence agencies" to figuring this out?
