Pentagon Outlines National Security Risks of Climate Change 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Pentagon has issued a report on the "immediate risks" to national
security posed by climate change. The report says global warming could
increase risks from terrorism and infectious diseases, lead to
devastating natural disasters, strain water supplies, and fuel droughts
and crop failures leading to mass migration. The Pentagon report
coincides with a new analysis that finds the rise in sea levels recorded
over the past century is unparalleled in the last 6,000 years.
