Climate change could cause global conflicts as large as the two world wars but lasting for centuries unless the problem is controlled, a leading defence think tank has warned.
The Royal United Services Institute said a tenfold increase in research spending, comparable to the amount spent on the Apollo space programme, will be needed if the world is to avoid the worst effects of changing temperatures. More here:
Defense "think tank" -- you know -- companies who get paid to come up with ideas about how to problems. They see this as a guarantee of the survival of their "think tank." They can "think" about climate change forever -- and nobody will be able to say if they're right or wrong -- because there is no way to verify it. Ohhhhh, the sweetness.
That's right, sheep -- a war the size of TWO world wars except lasting for centuries -- unless we throw all of our money at it. Think of it as a giant, invincible, mugger on the street.

My guess is they will never actually have a solution but it will continually have to be updated and changed so they can continue to make big bucks and not actually do any work.
