US generals urge climate action - BBC News

I never would have believed it, but American generals have come out in favor of U.S. action to address climate change (see BBC NEWS "US generals urge climate action").

It seems that former US military leaders say that "global warming poses a serious threat to national security, as the US could be drawn into wars over water and other conflicts."

General Zinni, a former commander of US Central Command, said that: "It's not hard to make the connection between climate change and instability, or climate change and terrorism. We will pay for this one way or another. We will pay to reduce greenhouse gas emissions today, and we'll have to take an economic hit of some kind. Or we will pay the price later in military terms. And that will involve human lives. There will be a human toll."

I doubt that Bush will listen to their voice of reason...
