In 2002 the National Academy of Sciences issued a report concluding that human activities could trigger abrupt change. The scenario studied by the Pentagon for planning purposes was abrupt change in the mid range.

But I imagine that you dismiss reports by scientists if they conflict with your politics, and will dismiss reports by national security experts for the same reason.

The whole thing wasn't even a forecast, but a worst-case scenario developed for the Pentagon, not by the Pentagon. It came out in Fortune a month ago. The Observer doesn't understand that the Internet can fact-check their ass, either.
